Informatiesessie

EUMOTIONS onderzoekt welke rol emoties van politieke elites (op EU- en lidstaatniveau) spelen in het formuleren van beleidsmogelijkheden van de EU tijdens internationale crises.

Terwijl crises als gevolg van terrorisme, burgeroorlogen en natuurrampen het wereldnieuws domineren, is het niet vreemd dat veiligheid en crisismanagement - inclusief de perceptie van risico's - boven aan de maatschappelijke en bestuurlijke agenda's staan.

International trade has played a major role in defining the modern global economy. Trade, however, entangles the environmental pressures of economic sectors, giving the illusion of environmental improvements, while the opposite may be occurring.

There is accumulating evidence for an increase in severe global drought events. In particular, Europe experienced several severe droughts in 2003, 2015, and 2018 (unprecedented in the past 2,110 years). Such droughts have caused serious and far-reaching impacts on terrestrial ecosystems.

The role of material production as a driver of environmental impacts is increasing, which calls for a better understanding of global material flows. This thesis explores the role of in-use stocks of products, buildings and infrastructure as a key driver of global material demand and discusses the implications…
