Focus on: Climate

The consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly clear, and research shows that dramatic measures are needed to reverse its detrimental effects.

Researchers from Linköping University participated in COP27, the UN climate change conference at which world-leaders, researchers and organisations gather to discuss problems and negotiate solutions. LiU carries out extensive research in sustainable development, with renowned research groups in fields such as climate science and climate policy.

Large LiU presence at climate meeting in Egypt

Seven people from Linköping University will be at the UN climate change conference in Egypt. LiU researcher Mathias Fridahl believes that a major focus will be on adaptation.

Pod: The question of loss and damage

After intense negotiations at COP27, an agreement that established a funding mechanism to compensate vulnerable nations for ‘loss and damage’ from climate-induced disasters was reached. Listen to LiU researchers Stephen Woroniecki and Malaika Mikaelsson in Temapodden.

New technology to secure future harvests

Wars, natural disasters and climate change bring huge challenges for the agriculture industry, which must at the same time provide food for a growing population. Future high-technology solutions can increase food production in a sustainable manner.

The Paris Agreement – better measurement methods needed

The Paris Agreement says that we should reduce the emission of greenhouse gases to limit the rise in global temperature to 2 degrees Celsius. But do we have the measurement methods needed? LiU-researchers have the disheartening answer.

Electricity from renewable sources can increase with flexible systems

Energy flow from solar and wind power is uneven, and depends on the weather. However, research from LiU shows that a flexible energy system in which district heating, electricity production, and industry work together can balance energy consumption.

Barriers to climate-friendly e-commerce

The retailers want it, so do the distributors. The consumers also say that they want it. Even so, the introduction of climate-friendly deliveries for e-commerce is proceeding slowly. A new study analyses the barriers that hinder development.

Lakes worldwide emit less methane than believed

Lakes emit globally approximately 42 million tonnes of the greenhouse gas methane each year, according to a new study from NASA and LiU. This is less than previously believed, but even so, lakes are one of the largest natural sources of methane.

“Climate policy must rest on two solid pillars”

Climate policy must rest on two solid pillars. Not only are radical measures to cut down emissions required, but also long-term initiatives to adapt society to a changed climate. This is the conclusion of environmental scientist Sofie Storbjörk.

Meet Martin Hultman

Knowledge about climate change is not enough to stop global warming. Decision-makers who say one thing and do something else may be part of the explanation. Martin Hultman, docent at Chalmers University of Technology and one of LiU’s Alumni of the Year 2021, leads the world’s first researcher network for the study of climate change denialism.

Climate research for the benefit of society

Cross-disciplinary environmental research at Linköping University breaks new ground. The innovative research with important participants, both from within Sweden and abroad, has given new tools and knowledge to meet the climate challenges we face.
