The transition to a low-carbon society requires a deep transformation, enabled by rapid adoption of new energy technologies. Accelerating the transition to a low-carbon society will require more attention to learning in the implementation of technologies. How can local learning contribute to accelerating the low-carbon transition? The transition to a low-carbon society requires a deep transformati

Small passerine birds, such as blue and great tits, avoid breeding in urban areas where there are many non-native trees. Chicks also weigh less the more non-native trees there are in the vicinity of the nest. This is shown in a long-term study from Lund University, Sweden. City trees contribute to several important ecosystem services such as lowering local temperature and purifying air but are als

Global environmental changes caused by a warmer climate can be combatted on a local level. The quality of our drinking water can be improved before it reaches water purification facilities and consumers through local efforts that minimise the growth of toxic algae and cyanobacteria in lakes. BECC researchers Pablo Urrutia Cordero and Lars-Anders Hansson, Lund University, have recently published th

Global environmental changes caused by a warmer climate can be combatted on a local level. The quality of our drinking water can be improved before it reaches water purification facilities and consumers through local efforts that minimise the growth of toxic algae and cyanobacteria in lakes.

Heatwaves and dry summer seasons have turned the Mediterranean basin into a global wildfire hotspot. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, wildfires raged across all of the Mediterranean, with devastating loss of lives, livelihoods, infrastructure and more than 620,000 ha forest area. LUCSUS researchers have studied barriers for collective action in preventing, responding, and adapting to fires, and ma

How do young adults respond when a major local employer shuts down? Research on Swedish military base closures shows that men are more likely to pursue higher education while women experience economic gains after a few years. Today, Sweden is undergoing military expansion but not long ago, the focus was on downsizing its defense forces. In a recent working paper, David Sandberg examines how young

Local inspiration behind increases in solar powerInstalling a solar power plant is increasingly popular among Swedish homeowners. Despite nationally applied policies and subsidies, however, PV systems are much more common on house roofs in some municipalities than in others. When IIIEE researcher Alvar Palm tried to find an explanation for this, he discovered that local electric utilities supporti
