Wildfires and deforestation are spreading in the wake of an expanding cattle industry in the Amazon rainforest. Now, Jesica López is being recognised for her research, which has brought together politicians, landowners, farmers and Indigenous communities in an effort to halt this development. "We must understand that the Amazon is an ecosystem every human being on the planet depends on," she says.

Despite creative efforts to tackle it, belief in conspiracy theories, alternative facts and fake news show no sign of abating. This is clearly a huge problem, as seen when it comes to climate change, vaccines and expertise in general – with anti-scientific attitudes increasingly influencing politics. So why can’t we stop such views from spreading? My opinion is that we have failed to understand th

The forest is currently at the centre of an intense debate. It concerns, in simplified terms, which climate benefits the forest can provide, either by sequestering carbon in standing forest, or by being used to substitute fossil fuels and fossil-intensive materials. In a new literature review from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University in Sweden, Markku Rummukain

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

Researchers at Lund University have contributed to creating a uniquely detailed global climate model that will increase our understanding of climate change. It is the first time that vegetation and land use, at this level of detail, are included in climate modeling within EC-Earth, a global climate and earth system model. Previous calculations have shown that vegetation and land use are important
