Migrant farm workers are some of the most vulnerable people within the global agricultural system. Now climate change is increasingly affecting their health and wellbeing, as well as agricultural production, exacerbating poverty and inequality for people making their living on farm labour. Ongoing research at LUCSUS is studying how climate change, both extreme events such as droughts, floods and f

As governments around the world ramp up subsidies to accelerate the transition to renewable energy, a key question remains: Do these policies deliver the economic and environmental benefits they promise? New research by Kajsa Ganhammar sheds light on the unintended consequences of one popular tool, green certificate schemes, revealing that when dominant producers can game the system, consumers may

Poverty reduction globally is one of the UN’s primary goals. But how can wealth and economic development be measured in a smart way? Artificial intelligence, AI, and satellite photos are able to give more effective and precise measurements, but will remote sensing technology ever be able to replace time-consuming interview surveys? In rich countries, GDP is the most common measure of a country’s w

A new study, published in the scientific journal PLOS One, reveals that a culture of silence surrounds sexual harassment in universities. The study was based on the supporting documents collected for the 2019-2020 Tellus report. The study, which ran from 2019-2020, was conducted via surveys sent to all staff and students at Lund University; the response rate was around one third in both groups. Th

Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease that can lead to serious health problems. It is important to find ways to predict the disease to take preventive measures. A large interdisciplinary study led by Lund University has identified a biomarker in the blood that predicts type 2 diabetes several years before diagnosis. Diabetes is on the rise and over time, diabetes can lead to complications such as c

Researchers at Lund University have contributed to creating a new, updated version of a global climate model that will increase understanding of global warming. Through the new model, one can now look at how land use and changes to vegetation can influence, and be influenced by, climate change. It is the first time that vegetation and land use, and in particular at this level of detail, has been i

In recent years, RNA molecules, with the ability to affect or turn off pathogenic genes, have become promising drug candidates in several areas. However, it has been a challenge to develop techniques to deliver the RNA molecules into the cells where they have an effect. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a sensitive technique that makes it possible to study the delivery in

In August, the IPCC published the first part of its sixth assessment report (AR6). It summarises the “physical science basis” for climate change. The message was loud and clear: humans are causing climate change. The next instalment of AR6 will focus on concrete solutions, and highlight how societies, especially vulnerable groups, will be impacted by climate change. Ahead of the coming COP26 in Gl
