Belief in free markets and individualism may be holding back climate action globally. A new study finds that people who embrace neoliberal values are consistently less likely to support government-led environmental policies, no matter where they live. LUCSUS researcher Felix Schulz and his colleague, Christian Bretter of the University of Queensland, investigated how people's ideologies affect the

Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product

Economic impacts, carbon footprint and rebound effects of car sharing. Car sharing is promoted as one alternative to decrease emissions from personal transport in cities. Most emission assessments have focused on the production and use phase of car sharing, but few have focused on the impacts of changes in consumption.

The new UN climate report shows that the zero emissions goal for 2050 is achievable. However, it will require major changes in all sectors – not least in industry, which currently accounts for a large proportion of global emissions. The researchers identified several sustainable paths forward, but some sectors – above all in plastics and chemicals – are still searching for potential transition rou

In political debate, the notion of climate transition is often presented as a road lined with sacrifices. Many researchers, however, paint a picture of a day-to-day life that could be better than today’s. What is experienced as good or bad varies from one person to the next, and may vary over time. “Whether something is getting better or worse is, of course, a subjective judgement. Norms change o
