The forest is currently at the centre of an intense debate. It concerns, in simplified terms, which climate benefits the forest can provide, either by sequestering carbon in standing forest, or by being used to substitute fossil fuels and fossil-intensive materials. In a new literature review from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University in Sweden, Markku Rummukain

They become smaller as urbanisation increases. Troublesome, according to researcher Helena Hanson, because urban private gardens affect both cities’ biodiversity and human wellbeing by functioning as social green spaces. Now she strikes a blow for gardens in the urban planning. Green spaces, such as parks and allotment gardens, have a major impact on our physical and mental health and wellbeing –

Two Lund University climate scientists, Kimberly Nicholas, who has acted as an observer at two global climate summits, and Markku Rummukainen, Sweden’s IPCC representative, talk about what comes next following the recent IPCC report. What do you view as the next steps following what was concluded in the IPCC report? Kimberly: Something the report makes absolutely clear is that to stop warming, hum

Climate change and biodiversity losses have long been addressed in parallel organisations. Now the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are launching the first global report that integrates the two issues. This is a welcome and much needed move, according to three researchers at the Univ

At this ClimBEco summer meeting, mostly held online but with parallel in-person workshops in Gothenburg, Lund and Malmö, was themed around one of humanities ultimate equalizers; that of food. The way we produce, move and use food globally has important implications on just about every challenge we currently face in the world, reflected in the overall title of the summer meeting. To start off the e

On October 31st, representatives from across the globe will gather in Glasgow for two weeks to attend the UN climate change conference COP26. Expectations are high following last year's canceled conference, and the IPCC report released in August. As part of the Paris Agreement in 2015, it was decided that all nations would renew their climate pledges or national climate plans, so-called NDCs (Nati

In February, ClimBEco PhD students gathered for our annual winter meeting. For the second consecutive year – but hopefully for the last time – the meeting was held digitally due to pandemic restrictions, with a small lunch gathering at the conclusion. During this two-day event, participants presented their PhD research to each other in an interdisciplinary setting. They had the option of sharing e

Årligen satsas nya pengar på forskningen inom åldrande och hälsa. Men tas forskningsrapporterna och resultaten av studierna till vara ute i samhället? Och vilken nytta är dem för de människor som berörs allra mest? Möt Silviasyster Karin Nilsson som blivit omvänd när det handlar om att anamma forskningsresultat.

Hur maximerar man effekten av intressenternas medverkan i forskningsprojekt? Det har det sex år långa forskningsprogrammet UserAge utforskat. Intressenters medverkan i forskning förespråkas ofta, men det är först nu som effekterna har kartlagts. I CASE:s forskningsprogram UserAge har 25-talet vetenskapliga artiklar publicerats sedan programmet startade 2017.Christine E. Laustsen och Camilla Malm v
