Natural solutions to the climate crisis
Nature-based solutions have great potential
What will it take to get nature-based solutions implemented on a greater scale in the Nordics? Researchers list five important points.
Flowers that benefit both bees and biodiversity
An increasing number of people want to help bees and other pollinators by growing flowers that are rich in pollen and nectar. But which flowers are the most beneficial?

Human rights during war and unrest
"Sweden must stand up to Turkey in the conflict over values"
Do the NATO negotiations mean that the Swedish government is prepared to tinker with human rights and values?
Has diplomacy been exhausted?
Most of the talk is about arms supplies to Ukraine. Very little is said about diplomacy. When will it be time for diplomatic talks?

Development of new semiconductors
What is a semiconductor?
Semiconductors are materials that can be controlled so that they either conduct electrical current or not. This allows them to be used as a kind of very small switch, called a transistor, in computer technology, among others. Transistors are the most important component in all modern electronics.
Nanotechnology – nano.lu.se
We are developing new types of materials that can complement or replace silicon, which is most common in today's semiconductors. This will facilitate the green transition and give us entirely new functions, properties and high performance in energy, electronics and IT.
IT Communication – elliit.se
We conduct research on circuit design and algorithms. This paves the way for 5G and 6G wireless technologies, networking solutions, collaborative robotic systems and optimisation and control of autonomous vehicles.
Semiconductor research
In our Research Portal, you can find most of the semiconductor research that is carried out at Lund University. You can search for researchers, projects, publications and much more.
UN climate report
Key questions in the subreport
- What has been the global emissions trend in recent years and how does this trend differ between regions?
- Which factors have affected the emissions trend?
- What solutions – technical, economic and policy instrument-related – are currently available to reduce emissions?
- How can different measures be combined and implemented over time to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to align with the world’s climate goals?
- How do emission reduction, climate change adaptation and sustainable development relate to each other, and how can measures in one area contribute to another?
"What matters now is zero emissions"
In connection with the new report, researchers at Lund University in Sweden see some hopeful signs.
