On March 14th, CircEUlar will run its first expert stakeholder workshop ‘Towards Net-Zero through a Circular Economy’ in Brussels, organised by T6 Ecosystems, together with Bruegel. Experts and decision makers from the fields of circularity, mobility, built environment and digitalisation will be present.
A recent study in Transportation Research Part D by Berrill et al. sheds light on sustainable urban living by examining the intricate associations between urban form, car ownership, and travel behavior across nineteen diverse European cities.
Over the past month, T6 Ecosystems, responsible for CircEUlar stakeholder and policy engagement as well as for the project’s communication and dissemination activities, has been conducting expert interviews.
Over the past few months, the University of Groningen, a project partner with CircEUlar, conducted an initial study on factors that influence whether people engage in circular behaviour related to mobility and housing.
Building from a past machine-learning (ML) model analysing the impact of urban form on energy demand, CircEUlar partner INEGI is now working on expanding it to a circularity perspective, with a view at informing policies and strategies towards carbon neutral urban areas.
In the face of the global challenge of climate change, materials, and circular economy policies emerge as vital players, deserving a central role in IAMs. The integration of these elements into the models
becomes our pathway toward a more effective and holistic low carbon future.
