BECC yearly meeting
14 November 2018
An exciting, interesting and well-visited BECC annual meeting went off October 17-18 at Falkenberg Grand Hotel. The program was filled with lessons from the past and implications for the future regarding biodiversity conservation and policy. The meeting ended with perspectives from a climate journalist and his great tips on how to communicate climate research to the public (and journalists!). ClimBEco Summer meeting
6 September 2018
This year’s summer meeting in Höllviken used the theme ‘Land use and ecosystem-based climate adaptation’ as starting point for presentations and discussions. BECC researchers secured funding for a Life-project
5 September 2018
The project Coastal adaptation to climate change by multiple ecosystem-based measures is multidisciplinary and involves partnership between natural science, social science, geotechnology, engineers, the citizens and public administration on all levels. AG:Patchy field sampling biases understanding of climate change impacts across the Arctic
9 August 2018
Arctic climate change research relies on field measurements and samples that are too scarce, and patchy at best. The researchers in the BECC action group looked at thousands of scientific studies, and found that around 30% of cited studies were clustered around only two research stations in the vast Arctic region. A paper in Nature Ecology & Evoloution was one of the result from the action group "Identifying gaps and priorities in Arctic environmental research". BECC announces two PhD positions in Gothenburg
7 August 2018
The first position is within how biogeochemical cycles are influenced by climate and their potential feedback mechanisms, while the second position is connected to the project MYR, climate smart management practices Communicating climate science on a global scale to a young and interactive audience

Where did all the carbon on earth really come from? How do you discuss climate change and mass extinctions without scaring children? and What positive examples do we have of mitigating human impact on the climate? BECC is hiring a Associate Senior Lecturer, focus on environmental politics
21 May 2018
We are looking for an ambitious political scientist in the beginning of her/his career who aims for a future career as university lecturer and researcher. The successful candidate will conduct independent research and enjoys the freedom to choose his or her own research questions, develop his or her own theoretical ideas, and choose the most appropriate methods, but will be expected to dedicate most of this research towards questions that fall into the thematic scope of BECC Farm2Forest – on sustainable agriculture in a biobased future
23 April 2018
Research and society in close cooperation: that is the basis for Farm2Forest, a project aiming to produce evidence guiding Swedish and European agricultural and forestry policymaking. The idea is to combine economic and ecological data and models to evaluate different future scenarios for marginal agriculture in forest-dominated landscapes which, in terms of surface area, accounts for a significant proportion of Swedish agriculture.
