Happy to have presented my work on potential #circular & #biobased futures of #plastic (#waste) and their #ClimateChange impact at the digitial #EUBCE2020 conference. Digital conferences allow for a more international audience and save emissions. Hopefully also after #COVID19.

Potentially groundbreaking for the #climate: A Dutch court just ruled that #Shell has to reduce its emissions by 2030 by 45% compared to 1990. Also, the German government was just recently forced by court to improve its climate targets. news.un.org/en/story/2021/…

My Phd thesis is finally published! It shows that a #circular, #biobased economy could turn the rapidly growing #plastics sector into a #carbon sink and reduce its resource consumption.

Bij de impact van plastic denken mensen snel aan vervuiling in de oceanen, en minder snel aan de CO2 die vrijkomt bij de productie en het verbranden ervan: 5% van alle uitstoot. De Nederlanders Paul Stegmann en Martin Junginger brachten de gevolgen in kaart. trouw.nl/ts-b19b9cb6

I was interviewed by The Hill on our latest publication in nature on the #climate impact of #plastics and how a #circular #bioeconomy could help in the #sustainable transition of the plastics sector.

Fui entrevistado pelo jornal #português Público sobre o nosso artigo na revista Nature Portfolio. Falei do impacto dos #plásticos no #clima e de como uma #bioeconomia #circular poderia contribuir para uma transição #sustentável no setor dos plásticos. publico.pt/2022/12/08/azu…

1/17. The IPCC Synthesis Report just came out (ipcc.ch/report/sixth-a…). The main message is: Urgency! Crunch time if we want to keep “Paris” in sight. Honoured to be one of the lead authors. Some key take-aways in my view in the following 16 tweets (reposted). #IPCC IPCC

Our new NatureClimate paper just out! State-of-the-art estimates of economic impacts of climate change show that benefits of #ClimateAction outweigh the mitigation costs by a factor of 1.5 to 3.9 ➡️strong economic validation of #ParisAgreement 🔗 rdcu.be/c8jSK 1/7

🟦Today, AMIGDALA PROJECT and TRANSIENCE are teaming up for a workshop in Belgium to bring together stakeholders from policy, industry, research and civil society to identify key transition challenges for advancing the EU’s industrial transition through enhanced modelling.
