To meet the rising demand for minerals driven by the global shift to clean energy technologies, ensuring responsible and resilient supply chains is critical. Minerals like cobalt, lithium, and nickel for batteries, neodymium and zinc for wind turbines, and indium for solar panels are essential.

A sustainable resource management is an essential aspect to satisfy the current human needs without compromising the needs of future generations.

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

The International Health Regulations are a set of binding rules which organise the global response to viral outbreaks and other similar transboundary risks to public health.

Douchen met ‘gebruikt’ water. Hoe duurzaam is dat? In de serie Groene Claim kijkt dagblad Trouw kritisch naar duurzaam aangeprezen producten. Dit keer buigen onder andere Ester van der Voet en Arnold Tukker zich over kranen met een duurzaamheidscertificaat en de aankomende ‘recycledouche’ van sanitairmerk…

Klimaatbeleid is een heet hangijzer geworden in het publieke debat. In NRC pleit universitair hoofddocent Jeroen Touwen voor een genuanceerde blik op het debat.

Sinds de oprichting is LUC een college voor onderwijsontwikkeling en experimentatie. In de missie van het college wordt LUC beschreven als "een plek van innovatie op het gebied van didactiek, curriculumontwerp en studentwelzijn." Deze visie wordt toegepast via een studentgerichte benadering in het onderwijs…

The explosive radiation and diversification of the advanced snakes (superfamily Colubroidea) was associated with changes in all aspects of the shared venom system. Morphological changes included the partitioning of the mixed ancestral glands into two discrete glands devoted for production of venom ormucous…

Boeren die zich committeren aan natuurvriendelijk werken, zetten zich in de praktijk ook daadwerkelijk in voor agrarisch natuurbeheer – vooral wanneer dit niet gefinancierd wordt door de overheid. Dit blijkt uit onderzoek van Anne Marike Lokhorst, waarop ze 17 september promoveert.

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

Wetland plants are distinguished from plants of other terrestrial ecosystems by their adaptations to specific habitat stresses, including waterlogged and flooding and the subsequent abundance of phytotoxic compounds.

The research group Politics, Culture and National Identities 1789-present investigates a wide range of national political cultures in Europe and the Americas in the 19th and 20th centuries. Instead of only analyzing high politics (the acts of governments and political parties), the research group focuses…

Development of an aggregated impact indicator to measure decoupling.

Integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) with life cycle costing (LCC) offers the opportunity to simultaneously analyze the environmental and economic aspects of product alternatives, for the integration of which a unified computational has been proposed by Heijungs et al. (2013) [1]. The project aims…

Description of Biotic ligand models: making an inventory of available models & assessment of the variability of the predicted HC5 using the BLMs in different Dutch water types (2005 - 2007)

Material outflows from industrial economies.

The use of N fertilizers has increased worldwide in the past century. While this increased input of N has increased food productivity, it has also contributed to decreases in biodiversity, soil quality and environmental health, including increases in greenhouse gas emissions.

Mycorrhizas are symbiotic associations between soil fungi and most plant species.

Bacteria are highly complex and diverse organisms that have adapted to survive in ecological niches ranging from the most extreme to the most heterogeneous environments.
