• Project 27 September 2021 Transformation & Article 6: Strengthening the transformative effect of market approaches under the Paris Agreement Transitioning towards sustainable development and net-zero global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will be key to staying within the temperature limits established by the Paris Agreement. The potential contribution of market-based instruments towards these objectives is, however, unclear. The project aims at developing recommendations on how to exploit the potential of Article 6 to support transformative change. Based on insights from literature review and interviews, the researchers propose a…

• News 16 September 2021 The DigiGreen podcasts: Digital transformation and sustainability Digitalisation is an ever-increasing part of our lives, driving change and development at speeds hitherto unimaginable. In a new series of podcasts, we look at how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can help drive climate action and sustainable development. Listen to the first episode here. While ICTs could help address climate concerns and enable the much-needed shift toward a circular economy, new technology also contributes to global carbon emissions and generates waste during…
