Norway still ranks #1 in #ewaste generation with 26 kg per capita. Until we get better recycling regulation and practices, #repair is the only option for preventing valuable materials going to waste. See also: https://t.co/RqDgsV0lEu

The E-waste Monitor 2024 is out: A record 62 million tonnes (Mt) of e-waste was produced in 2022, up 82% from 2010. Billions of dollars worth of strategically-valuable resources dumped. Just 1% of rare earth element demand is met by e-waste recycling: https://t.co/jfsIUvHEhR

At UiO's "Futuring Nordics: on a path to sustainability?" conference, our Lab engages participants in a 'Future Workshop', mapping the hindrances towards a repair society and what is needed to get there @andreagasparini @GrontUiO @UniOslo #repair @BeateSjafjell @EkernMaitre

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

Crossing 1.5°C has become inevitable, not because the climate system has gone crazy, but because the world has not reduced emissions.

It is time to reduce emissions... (and it has been for a long time)

Oil/gas companies funded Norwegian universities with 1 billion crowns over 5 years: https://t.co/LzB1gGw3bN
Haugan: "The role of universities is not to perfect mature technology in well-established industries" and "legitimize the Norwegian oil narrative that it lasts forever."
