It has happened... I witnessed one of my first papers on #lifestyle #change being used in a talk on "**Historical experiences** (successes and failures) in representing human behavior with integrated assessment models" 👀 I have entered to age of ancient work. #AGCI 🎤 www.agci.org/workshops/70...

🚨 In a new perspective experts in modelling and behavioural psychology reflect on the status of our fields on advising on #lifestyle #change for policy. Great initiative by Laura Scherer @unileiden.bsky.social and the EU 1.5° Lifestyles project! 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨🙌 Out today, a new @pnas.org perspective on analysing various decisions scales using #ABM, #IAM, #CGE models, led by the great @tatianafilatova.bsky.social TLDR: We stand stronger together in assessing vertical and horizontal decision making scales and impacts! 👉 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

In a context where scientists noted an absence of #TransdisciplinaryCE ( #circularity) and #TransdisciplinaryIT ( #Industrial #Transformation) work that links systemic knowledge to applied knowledge, I told everyone to hold my beer… See the first output from that feat!! 👇👇👇

What a coincidence, just as I am asked to indicate which CE policy questions models can answer, google scholar alerts me of a new article by @dominikwiedenhofer.bsky.social et al. listing 517 (!) intervention strategies that have been studied with models. 👀 www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Motherfucking wind farms…

🚨In a new paper by Harpprecht et al. (@dlr-en.bsky.social) we integrate #IAM with #LCA to analyse the impact of #steel #decarbonization pathways. ‬ ✔️Improving impact categories: 3 😱Worsening impact categories: 8 ➡️ pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A... @nlenvironagency.bsky.social @image-pbl.bsky.social

At a panel discussion of a winning MOIP project. Ingeborg Meijer of 🇳🇱 MinSTI underlined need to better streamline the science-policy interface Agreed. Because I don't understand why this ministry is judging on a circular economy demonstrator which was more MinEnv or MinMFA🥲 #euspri2025

And we have lift-off! 🚀 Prof. Howaldt kick-starting #EuSPRI2025 sharing that theme #Industry policy & MOIP has been most popular. Exactly where to find me: parallel session 7 Room 1005 for the @casriproject.bsky.social story on supporting transformative change for #sustainable #industry! 🏭🏗️🏭🏗️

Hi dear (new) followers: The season for 'call for abstracts' has opened again, but I havent seen reminders fly by on Bluesky yet! Twitter still better for this! Anyone knowing relevant #science #conferences in the fields of #policy, #innovation, #energy, #resources, #industry to recommend to me?🙏

Check out the @ipbes.bsky.social Nexus report, which is about simultaneously tackling the interlinked global crises in #Biodiversity, #Water, #Food, #Health and #Climate Change. Unaccounted-for costs of current approaches estimated to be at least US$10-25tn p.a. www.ipbes.net/nexus/media-...

Hot take: yesterday the JRC-driven report on & roadmap to evidence-informed policy making was presented, where they concluded that NL has an elaborate system – we just don’t use it. “Knowledge is important but no time to use it.” /1 (soon here: knowledge4policy.ec.europa.eu/evidence-inf... )
