A new theoretical framework developed by our colleagues at the University of Groningen sheds light on how individuals can go beyond personal consumption and actively contribute to systemic change to achieve a circular economy.
On June 18th CircEUlar, CIRCOMOD and CO2NSTRUCT presented preliminary findings and insights on how, in the built environment, circularity could contribute to driving climate change mitigation as part of EU Green Week.
Transitioning to a circular economy model, through the reuse of materials, sustainable construction practices, and improved renovation strategies, can play a key role in climate change mitigation and the reduction of environmental impacts.
The CircEUlar team at INEGI is exploring how different urban patterns dictate energy and material needs, through spatially-explicit modelling of a comprehensive set of indicators.
Charlie Wilson and Yee Van Fan argue that the indirect impacts of AI on climate may outweigh concerns about the energy needed to train and run AI models.
