๐๏ธ Very happy to share our first 3 case studies (๐ง๐ช ๐ฎ๐น ๐ธ๐ช) on how to increase social acceptability of #LowEmissionZones. 2 more case studies (๐ง๐ฌ ๐ต๐ฑ) & a final paper will be published early September.
Thanks to @CleanAirFund for their generous support!

Reducing #PlasticWaste is key contributor to the ๐ช๐บ #CircularEconomy Action Plan as part of the #EUGreenDeal
All circular economy strategies do, however, have a risk of both good and negative environmental and social spillovers.
Our briefing by @EmWatki ๐
EU polluters are not currently paying for most of the environmental damage they cause.
Read our study for @EU_ENV on how taxes and other economic instruments could help in applying the polluter pays principle ๐

New paper today estimates the per capita emissions gaps for 1.5C of global income groups in 2030, based on NDCs
Richest 1% set for footprints 30x 1.5C-aligned global level
Richest 10% - 9x higher
Middle 40% - 2x higher
Poorest 50% - 2x lower

This new article in Marine Pollution Bulletin will be of interest to those working on #marinelitter, #marine#pollution and #governance. Co-written with partners from the @CLAIM_H2020 project.
Happy reading!

๐ขNew publication alert ๐ข IVM colleagues and partners part of the @CLAIM_H2020 project have identified relevant legal, institutional and financial drivers and barriers for #MarineLitter clean up technologies in the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas https://t.co/ECd6i7mICS
This is a great opportunity to lead and further develop a really interesting portfolio of projects on environmental policy in the global context.
Please share with friends and colleagues who could fit the bill!

The circular economy is essential to meeting our climate targets. Weโve collaborated with @IEEP_eu on our latest policy paper that demonstrates why the EU should embed the circular economy in its upcoming climate and industrial legislation https://t.co/KfJIpcerSw #circulareconomy
Little update on #plasticpollution!
If you want to read a nice summary of what policy can do to tackle our never-ending #seaofplastic issue, have a read at the book chapter I wrote with @Clem_Richer and @EmWatki based on @IEEP_euโs research: https://t.co/K0bywfSqhY

Did you know that:
๐น 8 million tonnes of plastics are released into the worldโs oceans each year ๐งด
๐น Plastics constitute 85% of marine litter ๐ฅค
๐น Half of all litter found on beaches are single-use plastics ๐๏ธ

Last year, the island nation of Vanuatu banned drinking straws, plastic bags and styrofoam. By December, it plans to add all single-use plastics to the list โย becoming one of the first countries in the world to do so, and a year ahead of the EU. @bbcworld https://t.co/4rWIyXSyRe
This lovely little creature just paid me a visit in the @IEEP_eu London office.
If anyone can identify it, please let me know!
(It seemed at home on the EU Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy, if that helps ๐)
