Vid Lunds universitet startar nu ett sexårigt forskningsprojekt som ska undersöka vad framtidens reaktorer innebär för miljö, säkerhet och samhälle. Med 27 miljoner i anslag från Vetenskapsrådet får forskarna möjlighet att bygga en helt ny tvärvetenskaplig forskningsmiljö. Kärnkraft har efter en tid av utfasning återigen blivit aktuellt i Sverige. Den svenska regeringen vill se en ökad satsning på

How we feel about nature affects the gardening choices we make and how much those choices benefit pollinators. A new study from Lund University highlights this connection, particularly in the context of widespread urbanisation, which is reducing both green spaces and people’s contact with nature. The researchers also show that for pollinators in cities, gardens with plantings kept over many years

Researchers at Lund University have produced the most detailed map of carbon emissions from Swedish forest fires to date. The results show that the largest emissions occur below the ground surface, in peat and organic soils. During the extremely hot summer of 2018, 324 forest fires were reported in Sweden. Using field measurements, models, and data from the Swedish Forest Agency, the Swedish Envir

New findings from Jezero crater reveal how bedrock formed deep within Mars' crust was uplifted, submerged under water in a lake and became altered. The results provide a new piece of the puzzle in understanding the long geologic history of our red neighbour planet. Since NASA's Perseverance rover landed on Mars' red dusty surface in February 2021, it has collected a wealth of valuable data. As the

Swedish old-growth forests store 83 percent more carbon than managed forests, according to a new study from Lund University. The difference is substantially larger than previous estimates and is mainly due to large carbon stocks in the soil. The study, published in the scientific journal Science, is the most comprehensive mapping of how much carbon is stored in Swedish old-growth forests to date.

The Swedish Climate Policy Council released its annual report on 19 March 2026. The report provides a comprehensive review of climate policy over the government’s most recent term. It concludes that Sweden is not on track to meet its climate targets for 2030 and 2040, that the gap to the targets has widened, and that necessary decisions have been postponed. The Council stresses that decisive actio
