In a new study, LUCSUS researcher Maryam Nastar, identifies key knowledge gaps in the evaluation of Ahmedabad’s Heat Action Plan (HAP), and highlights the need to look at the distribution of policy impacts in cities in more detail - to find out who has benefited or been excluded from the outcomes, and what barriers need to be tackled for more inclusive and effective results. Climate change is expe

A new study led by Lund University in Sweden shows that cities negatively affect the diversity of birds. There are significantly fewer bird species in urban forests compared with forests in the countryside - even if the forest areas are of the same quality. The researchers examined 459 natural woodlands located in or near 32 cities in southern Sweden. They counted the occurrence of different bird
