Scientists all over the world agree: the earth is getting hotter and hotter and extreme weather such as heat waves or prolonged droughts create a greater risk of forest fires. In a new photographic exhibition in the Pufendorf Institute's garden in Lund, visitors could take part of powerful photographs of how people, animals and communities are affected by forest fires. The fire season is getting l

A new study from LUCSUS shows that the UN's sustainable development goals as a whole do not contribute to making us more resilient to cope with disruptive changes, such as climate change. The researchers behind the study believe that the next global agenda should put the relationship between ecosystems and humans in focus and start from flexible goals that promote transformative leadership and are

Why are so few men working in occupations such as nursing, childcare, or elder care? A new study examines whether persistent cultural gender norms discourage men from entering traditionally female-dominated occupations. Over the last decades, women have increasingly entered traditionally male-dominated professions such as medicine and law. However, the reverse has not happened: men remain heavily

Have you made adjustments to your garden to make it more welcoming for pollinators? If so, you have probably made a valuable contribution, according to a new study from Lund University. The researchers evaluated the national ‘Operation: Save the Bees’ campaign, and their results indicate that what private individuals do in their gardens really can make a positive difference. The fact that pollinat

In today’s world, where climate change rapidly accelerates and business operations are the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the question of what motivates companies to take meaningful environmental action has never been more urgent. Climate change exposes companies to various types of risks, beyond direct physical risks, such as losing market share to competitors with better environ

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. My recent research trip to Amazon, Colombia was a stark reminder that sustainability science is as much about being at the forefront of knowledge as it is about physically visiting man-made frontiers and conflict areas. I think this has to do with the importance to connect with local communities and people and try to

Climate research in the Arctic is being hit hard as collaboration with Russian researchers is put on ice. “It’s impossible to get an overall picture of the Arctic without looking at Russia. If this becomes permanent, we will be thrown back 20 years,” says Margareta Johansson, who leads the unique research project INTERACT, which incorporates researchers from all eight Arctic countries.

The battle for real democracy in the Middle East will largely be decided in schools. The role of education in a democracy was also the theme of a workshop in Alexandria, where Swedish researchers met their Egyptian counterparts.

Have you noticed that when scientists are asked whether or not a particular extreme weather event is due to climate change, they usually respond with something like "It fits the pattern, but we can't say for sure that this particular event is worse because of climate change"? Weather attribution is a new phenomenon that is changing this. Climate scientist Wilhelm May at Lund University helps us ge
