Material outflows from industrial economies.

In-use stocks of products can be considered as intermediaries between human needs and the physical world.

In veel grote steden kan klimaatverandering tot een watercrisis leiden. Een goede omgang met erfgoed kan dit tegengaan, betoogt Fokke Gerritsen. De directeur van het Nederlands instituut in Turkije (NIT) gebruikte seed money van het Impact Support Netwerk om dit aan de hand van een Istanbuls aquaduct…

Het wemelt van de voetafdrukken die de druk van de mens op het milieu berekenen. Milieukundige Kai Fang is de eerste die een voetafdrukfamilie ontwikkelde waardoor milieuschade en uitputting van hulpbronnen beter gemeten kan worden. Promotie 24 november.

Decarbonizing the building stock is critical for realizing the climate-neutral target for the Netherlands.
