My field trip to Bhutan comes to an end. I am impressed by this beautiful and peaceful country. What I learnt in a nutshell: 🚨more coordination across the levels and strict policies 📚, more education and awareness, and 💰 funding to support the private sector are needed to mitigate plastic pollution.

#POLITKOLUMNE: What are the political consequences of natural disasters like the devastating glacier collapse in #Blatten? @kariningold.bsky.social et al. show: Severe economic damage is necessary but not sufficient for polisky change. Reform-minded actors are needed www.derbund.ch/naturkatastr...

🧠 How can we better cumulate knowledge at science–policy interfaces? In their article, Benjamin Hofmann, Manuel Fischer, @kariningold.bsky.social, Eva Lieberherr and Sabine Hoffmann argue that publishing isn’t enough—SPIs must actively integrate, synthesize & translate knowledge to inform policy.

Our @pego-group.bsky.social members @marlenekammerer.bsky.social & Dechen Lham are currently on a field trip in Bhutan 🇧🇹 as part of their new SNIS project on Investigating Effective Solutions to Regulate Plastics. Stay tuned for insights from the field! 🌍🧭
