In the efforts to combat climate change, much attention has been focused on external solutions such as technological innovations, policy changes, and industry shifts. However, a new study conducted by researchers Gustav Osberg from IIIEE together with Mine Islar and Christine Wamsler from LUCSUS sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of the transition: the role of citizens as active agents of c

Central Asian Law project continues to produce knowledge about Central Asia and sharing it with other scholars in this area. Thus, on the 27th of May the project members participated in a panel discussion at an international conference “Central Asian Law Forum: Commercial Law at the Time of Change: New Imperatives and International Standards”. The conference was organised by one of the project par
A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the ability of microorganisms to adapt to climate warming will slow down global warming by storing carbon in soil. In the study, researchers collected soil samples from across Europe in a wide range of temperatures, from minus 3.1 to 18.3 degrees Celsius. The samples revealed that microorganisms in soils – such as bacteria and fungi – are stron

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa
