Future mineral demand can be met without #deepseamining.
We need to urgently transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, but not at the expense of untouched, biodiverse deep #ocean ecosystems, which are also significant carbon sinks. Read here 👉wwf.panda.org/discover/our_f…
We need to invest in technological innovation and #CircularEconomy for a green transition so we decrease the material bottlenecks for the growth of low-carbon technologies. Read more in our new report: sintef.brage.unit.no/sintef-…

How much does oil use need to go down in a 1.5°C scenario, with no or low overshoot?
According to IPCC SR15 scenarios, ~20% from 2020 to 2030 & ~60% to 2050, where I have selected scenarios most consistent with history.
IEA to 70% in 2050, probably since less use of CDR.

Remarkable numbers.
I think the last 20% will be hard, but it is fleet share that really matters in the end, so even holding new sales in this range for the next few years has a big impact.
Norway car sales Sep 2020: Record share of #ElectricVehicles at 81.6%! BEVs at 61.5%. Pure diesel down to 5%. 13% of all cars was the new electric VW ID.3. #elbil @colinmckerrache ofv.no/aktuelt/2020/81-6-pro…
Sad days for Brazil. It's hard to be positive about #climatechange #mitigation while the #AmazonForest burns. The climate and environmental policies in Brazil have been destroyed. I wish that Bolsonaro's gov effects will be just a short nightmare, and not BAU scenario from now on

Denis Mukwege, Peace #NobelPrize laureate 2018: "When driving your #electriccar, using your #smartphone, or admiring your jewels, take your time to ponder what is the human cost of manufacturing these objects."
#ClimateAction is not a threat to jobs, our new study shows. #Employment gains in most countries due to spillovers from cleaner technologies are higher than losses in "dirty" sectors. However, job losses and creations are not necessarily in same place dx.doi.org//10.1111/ilr.1211…

We tried modelling the global biodiversity impacts of the shift between different vegetable oils doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aa… Increased use of palm oil has a significant impact on biodiversity loss, but soy is very high as well #palmoil #soy #environmentalfootprints @indecol @TheIIOA

We should dream of, discuss, and eventually fight for a different publishing system for sustainability research. I compiled a few ideas of how this publishing system could look like and what the benefits and costs of change might be. New blog entry under blog.industrialecology.uni-f…
