A new research project led by LUCSUS is exploring how power and politics intersects with climate risk and adaptation at different scales. The aim is to contribute to more resilient, inclusive and just futures by studying adaptation to climate change through a lens of vulnerability, cross-scale risk, and power structures in Skåne, Sweden, and in East Anglia, England. – We know that climate change i

How regional, local and national governments decide to develop coastal regions affects 21st century flood exposure more than climate threats according to a new study, focusing on China. The research, which for the first time integrates projected land use change under different policies, sea-level rise, extreme events, and land subsidence, identifies that strategic coastal planning can have huge ef

Researchers have identified the top 12 ways European cities have been able to curb car use. The most effective measure was applying a congestion charge, with the notable case of London, where city traffic dropped by 33% following the change. Most success stories involved both “carrots” to encourage sustainable mobility and “sticks” to restrict cars, according to the study. – Transport is a major s

A new global study shows that in human-disturbed regions, many native plant species are absent from their natural habitats, contributing to the missing so called “dark diversity”. Natural vegetation often lacks many species that could potentially be present, especially in regions heavily affected by human activities, according to a new study coordinated by researchers at the University of Tartu an

What are the opportunities for active transport policy pathways? Research shows that a policy mix that maximises economic benefits entails bike-sharing, cycle parking, training and education, low traffic neighbourhoods, e-bike grants, a workplace parking levy and increased use of a ‘cycle-to-work’ Scheme.
