Yesterday, the GRU-Team visited the facilities of an Austrian e-waste recycling company.
We saw how e-waste & cars are dismantled, shredded, how their plastic components are recycled, and got insights into the opportunities and challenges of implementing the #CircularEconomy.

New Paper out 👏
Nadin Ozcelik, Miguel Rodriguez Mendez, Antonio Sartal, and Stephan Lutter show that the improvements in economic water productivity are not necessarily associated with improvements in water efficiency 💧📈

[Institute for Ecological Economics Vienna @EcologicalEcon]

How?
💡By evaluating actual quantities of water use (absolute water consumption or physical water-efficiency indicators).
💡Alternativly, one could also include the drivers of water productivity changes in the analysis (e.g. capital intensity, labor productivity).

[Green Central Banking @greenCB]

Climate scenarios used in central bank stress tests contain a major gap, according to this research paper from @StefBattiston and @IreMonasterolo for @INSPIREgreenfin.

The paper “Enhanced Scenarios for Climate Stress-tests” says that current scenarios fail to account for feedback effects from the financial system, investors’ expectations, and policy credibility in realising the scenarios.

To address this, the authors propose a new generation of enhanced climate scenarios which capture the “endogeneity of climate risk”.
