Welcome to the 5th official Lund University Research Conference on Sustainable Development.
The interdisciplinary research conference on Breaking barriers to climate solutions aims to encourage knowledge sharing and dialogue between Lund University and the University of Cambridge.
The conference will take place December 9 at AF-borgen in Lund and online. It is free of charge and lunch and fika will be included.

Deadline to register is November 27. https://www.sustainability.lu.se/form/registration-knowledge-sustainable...
If you find yourself unable to attend after you have registered, or if you have any questions, please contact ylva.van_meeningen@cec.lu.se
At the conference, we will broaden scientific horizons through interactive roundtable discussions and dialogue between disciplines and universities, aiming to better tackle some of the key challenges of our time. In the morning, the themes include:
- Energy transition: To combat climate change and improve energy security, a shift in how energy is produced is needed. But how do we get there and how do we make an energy transition that is also fair?
- Biodiversity and climate: Climate change and biodiversity loss are interconnected. A change in one will affect the other. But they are also intertwined with our social, cultural and economic processes. How can we better handle the link between biodiversity, climate change and people?
- Adaptation, loss and damage: The changes in climate is and will have long lasting effects on people's lives and on the planet. It affects our health, our livelihood and our surroundings. And it hits differently between communities and people. How can we address these changes and what can be done about it?
In the afternoon, the interactive discussions will continue, but with a focus on the bigger picture and how disciplines can interact to find new solutions. There will be a panel discussion on A sustainable future - at what cost? with panelists from both Lund University and University of Cambridge, as well as two parallel roundtable discussions titled:
- No space to spare - how to balance natural space and societal needs?
- Understanding future risks in a changing climate and society.
