Our researchers, Devrim Umut Aslan and Cecilia Fredriksson, have just released their book about ongoing transformations in city retail. We asked Devrim to tell us a little about the book. This book is based on the changing relationship between retail and cities. In recent decades, retail has changed in several fundamental ways. Traditional stores are in a transformation phase and are now competing

SWEAH-doktoranden Glenn Möllergren, Socialhögskolan i Lund, är i full gång med att intervjua äldre personer under sin stipendieresa i Rumänien. Han har fått sin rumänska etikprövning godkänd och gör intervjuer med äldre som bor kvar i egna hemmet. De måste klara vardagen utan hjälp från kommunen, trots att behoven ofta är stora. Offentligt finansierad hemtjänst saknas i princip i landet.– Första

Ny teknik kan underlätta äldre personers aktivitet, men då måste de involveras i teknikutvecklingen. Det framgår i en ny avhandling av William Son Galanza, SWEAH-doktorand i forskargruppen Tillämpad gerontologi i Lund, som har tagit fram en AI-modell som kan kategorisera äldres vardagsaktiviteter. Den äldre befolkningen växer och teknikanvändningen ökar. – Teknik bidrar till bättre livskvalitet om

It feels almost shameful to admit, but climate change has always felt like something abstract and far away. Of course, I know that climate change is happening. I can explain the greenhouse effect. I even use climate change as an argument for banning meat from my diet, reducing my consumption of animal-based products, and travelling through Europe by bus and train. I do all of these things because
The UN Climate Change Conferences regularly fail to adequately address climate change. Does this relate to how the conferences are designed and organised? Could developing a different culture of cooperation and communication help to make progress? Which mindsets and associated inner qualities might be conducive in this process?

A wound in nature, cheap rubbish and dangerous for animals and humans. This is how plastic is presented in visual art and photography around the world, finds a new study. But according to the researchers, some problems are not illustrated. The study is co-authored by LUCSUS researcher Sara Ullström. Together with four research colleagues, Sara Ullström, has in a study identified five interconnecte

Large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR), is increasingly seen as a key component of climate change mitigation pathways that limit warming to 1.5C or 2C. CDR approaches tend to be frames as novel and untested, and mostly focuses on hypothetical future scenarios. Yet CDR has a longer and, in many ways, more tangible history than this framing suggests – the lessons of which are largely overlooked i

The official figures for forest fires in the Brazilian Amazon in August 2020 show a slight decrease from last year. But researchers at the Brazil's Space Research Institute, Inpe, warn that data may need to be corrected so much that they instead reveal the worst fires in a decade. Torsten Krause, researcher in forest hunting, deforestation and sustainability at LUCSUS, comments on the situation. W

Murray Scown and Kimberly Nicholas, researchers at LUCSUS, have analysed in detail how EU agricultural subsidies flow down to the local level. The new data show that most income support payments go to intensively farmed regions already above median EU income, while climate-friendly and biodiverse farming regions, as well as poorer regions, are insufficiently funded. Consequently, the majority of p

Sara Ullström, PhD in Sustainability Science, will present her work at a first seminar on 17th September. We asked her to explain what her research within the project, The takeoff of staying on the ground, is about. What do you explore in your PhD? My research investigates the questioning of high-carbon worlds through the case of the staying on the ground phenomenon in Sweden. This phenomenon cons
In her first year seminar on 17th September, Kelly Dorkenoo, PhD at LUCSUS, will highlight her research on negative impacts of climate change in Cambodia. She aims to identify potential pathways to address disproportionate losses and damages from climate change at different levels in society. What is your research about?

Negative emission technologies, or large scale carbon dioxide removal, are increasingly seen as key to slow or halt climate change. Researchers now warn that they are fraught with uncertainties, and raise questions about land use, justice and power. Wim Carton, researcher at Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, explains what these technologies are about, and why the promises of these
