New value chains from alternative forestry

The project explores alternative value chains from continuous cover forestry to strengthen its commercial viability. The goal is to support forest owners in reaching the market while promoting biodiversity and carbon sequestration.

Aiding adaptation

In this project, Swedish aid is examined as a tool to integrate cross-cutting challenges such as environmental, climate, gender, and conflict perspectives into climate adaptation efforts.

Experiencing personal sustainability and climate transformations – techniques and practices for narrating the interconnected self.

What motivates individuals to engage in personal sustainability transformations? This project asks: what is needed for a transformative change of perspective to take place?

Decision support for climate change adaptation in Swedish agriculture and forestry

This project aims to contribute to the development of tailored climate indicators for stakeholders in the Swedish agricultural and forestry sector, to create useful support for the work with climate adaptation.

BRIGHT: Increased knowledge and new tools for adapting Swedish cities to heat

Project BRIGHT aims to contribute with new knowledge, optimized methods, enhanced tools and user tailored data that enable Swedish municipalities to better adapt to climate change, with a focus on heat waves.

Sustainable management of Amazon forest: a win-win for resource utilization and climate mitigation

The project explores how different management strategies affect both gas emissions and the assimilation of trees and nearby soil.

Ò»±¾µÀ University Negative Emission Technologies (LUNETs)

An increasing number of climate targets require net negative emissions of carbon dioxide. Here we study the methods bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and biochar in the Nordic and Tanzania.

Societal Transformations Lab

With Societal Transformation Lab, we create an innovative platform for research on how communities can be set to become sustainable.

Support for stakeholder cooperation and multifunctional adaptation of residential areas

The project aims to strengthen property owners' ability to adapt buildings to the climate. We study how climate vulnerability is analysed in different property stocks and how residential areas can be adapted while residents' added value increases.

Youth Representation in Global Politics

Young people´s concerns in critical transboundary issues such as climate, health and migration have gained significant attention in recent years. In practice, however, the ways in which youth are given voice in global governance remains contested.

Visual Water

Heavy rainfall is causing  damage in urban built environments and are expected to be further intensified due to climate change. We develop an interactive visualization platform to support cities in sustainably addressing such climate related risks.

A Global Potluck Dinner

Collaboration on the climate must build on those measures proposed under the new guidelines in the Paris Agreement 2015. In the project here, the climate policy measures of different states are compared and set in relation to their preconditions.

Premises for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage

Climate scenarios for limiting temperature rise well below 2°C rely heavily on bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). This project assesses the socio-political prospects for deploying BECCS at the scales suggested in the scenarios.

Ontological security in a transforming world

Climate change presents security and health challenges. We need to better understand how political and practical responses to climate change emerge from how people experience such challenges and vice versa.

Non-state actors in climate cooperation

Non-state actors, such as companies and organizations, participate in the UN climate negotiations in various steering groups and side events. This research program focuses on these types of activities and the impact they have.

Growing up in a Warming World

In August 2018, 15-year-old Greta Thunberg initiated a school strike in defiance of an adult world that has failed to take climate change seriously. Since then, Fridays for Future has grown into one of the largest protest movements ever.

Ò»±¾µÀ University Climate Engineering Research Programme

As greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, large-scale climate engineering seems to be more and more inevitable. The LUCE research programme is exploring the perceptions and opinions that surround the emergence of these high-risk technologies.

Adapting agriculture to climate change

Agriculture is seriously affected by climate changes. This project studies how agriculture can cope with such changes and what effects various adaptation measures may have, based on new methods that include visualization, participation and gaming.
