The Indirect Impacts of Digitalisation on Energy and Emissions
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.

The CircEUlar project developed a set of narratives that examine how Circular Economy (CE) strategies can contribute to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050
In March and April 2025, research partner T6 Ecosystems, designed, organised and delivered four online sessions with stakeholders to explore the future of the built environment, mobility, digitalisation, and household appliances and waste in a more circular economy.
In order to formulate climate strategies that are capable of being implemented, it is essential to establish a modelling ecosystem that is characterised by diversity, collaboration and a foundation in the complexity of the real world.
In a multi-national questionnaire study, CircEUlar’s team from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands sought to find out to what extent people engage in circular citizenship behaviours.
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.
Over the next few weeks, CircEUlar partners T6 and IIASA will be running a series of online stakeholder workshops. The aim of these events is to explore the future of the four focus areas in a more circular economy.
Focusing on energy-using durable goods, we assess how increasing EPR fees could alter consumption habits and boost “consumer” circular economy practices .
Following the successful participation at the Klima Biennale Wien and the production of a series of artworks enabling the communication of research and scientific knowledge to a boarder audience, CircEUlar will be featured in an exhibition on Carbon Neutrality at local level.
A CircEUlar member of the UOXF team was invited to share insights on the direct and indirect footprint of digitalisation and participated in a panel discussion on planning urban transport infrastructure to accommodate autonomous mobility systems.
