On the second day of COP26, more than 100 global leaders, representing 85% of the world's forests, pledged to halt and reverse deforestation and land degradation by the end of the decade. The Glasgow Leaders' Declaration on Forest and Land Use will cover forests totaling more than 13 million square miles. Sustainability researcher and deforestation expert, Torsten Krause, at Lund University for Su

Tree-planting has been widely seen as an effective way of binding carbon as carbon dioxide levels rise in the atmosphere. But now, BECC researcher Louise C Andresen among others, are warning that forests on nutrient-poor land won’t be an additional carbon sink in the long term. As forests age, their uptake of CO2 declines and, each time forests are planted, there is a risk of additional carbon bei

For over 60 years, scientists have tried to determine whether plants are pollinated primarily during the day or at night — without reaching a clear conclusion. Now, a major research review from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that nighttime pollinators play just as significant a role as daytime species in 90 percent of the cases studied. Most of us know how important bees, birds, and butter

Social anthropologist Petra Östergren’s research rethinks prostitution policies and receives international response and praise. Her chapter "From zero-tolerance to full integration. Rethinking prostitution policies" has now been published in The Sage Handbook of Global Sexuality. According to professor Hendrik Wagenaar at Kings College in London it is a "seminal typology of prostitution policies"

With the help of mirrors, placed only a few hundred nanometers apart, a research team has managed to use light more efficiently. The finding could eventually be useful for controlling solar energy conversion during photosynthesis, or other reactions driven by light. For example, one application could be converting carbon dioxide into fuel. The sunlight that hits Earth for one hour is almost equiva
