~Co-presented with Commonweal's Collaborative for Health and the Environment~ We're now in the dangerous, uncharted territory climate scientists have been warning about for decades. Meanwhile, biologists and toxicologists are sounding the alarm about surpassing the “planetary boundary” for chemical pollution, beyond which both ecosystems and our health are endangered. We know climate change and chemical pollution are related in ways that can accelerate both crises, but does their interlinked nature also offer opportunities? Join Host Kristin Schafer with biologist and systems thinker Dr. Elizabeth Sawin and chemicals expert and clean production advocate Beverley Thorpe as they explore opportunities to prioritize solutions that concurrently address climate change and the global crisis of chemical contamination — while also improving public health, equity and economic vitality.

Are you interested in carbon-neutral cities? Summary of the article titled Carbon-neutral cities: Critical review of theory and practice from 2022 by Aapo Huovila, Hanne Siikavirta, Carmen Antuña Rozado, Jyri Rökman, Pekka Tuominen, Satu Paiho, Åsa Hedman, and Peter Ylén, published in the Journal of Cleaner Production. This is a great preparation for our next interviewee, Dr Aapo Huovila in episode 174 talking about sustainable and smart cities. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see what carbon-neutrality can mean for cities. This article presents the theory and practice of carbon-neutral efforts in the urban context, exploring the gaps between research and practice. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: Cities, as major global resource consumers and emission contributors, are central to achieving climate goals through sustainability initiatives. Ambiguities in the carbon-neutral city concept and varied emission scopes challenge consistent implementation and progress measurement. A holistic, systemic approach with collaboration among various stakeholders is essential for effective carbon neutrality transitions. Find the article through this link. Abstract: Carbon neutrality has become central in policy discourse and cities' climate actions are crucial to achieve this goal. Consequently, many cities have already published ambitious climate neutrality target years and are preparing for transition to climate neutrality. This study presents findings from the first ever literature review on the carbon-neutral city concept, covering definition, assessment approaches, and barriers and drivers for transition to carbon neutrality. These findings are combined with interviews with Finnish cities aiming at carbon neutrality to explore gaps between research and practice. More clarity is needed on the definition of carbon-neutral city concept and especially on the role of offsetting the emissions (a specific feature compared to other urban climate concepts). The lack of consistency in city carbon accounting methods and emission scopes making cities' carbon neutrality goals incomparable, thus calling for harmonization and guidance on common assessment methods. In addition to research, climate networks play an important role in the transition to carbon neutrality. Cities have set ambitious goals and need support to develop action plans, assess actions, come up with creative and innovative ideas and increase collaboration with various stakeholders. Development of ways to support cities that have taken on ambitious carbon neutrality targets would benefit from more systematic research on transition to carbon neutrality from different contexts capturing the lessons learned. There is a need for methods that are flexible enough to accommodate adjustments to local conditions and needs, but also consider broader system transition.

The average American family of four loses roughly $1,500 annually, not eating the foods they purchased. This uneaten food, at best, ends up in a compost heap or goes to household pets, or worst, this wasted food ends up in the trash, a total loss. Of course, no one wants to waste food, but there is often a disconnect between what people know they should do, as opposed to what they would do. This podcast is part of a series on food waste. My colleagues, Agricultural Economist, Brenna Ellison of Purdue University, and Penn State's Applied Economist, Linlin Fan, and I, asked people to tell us what food waste prevention measures they would support. And we asked which strategies they thought would work. The study was published recently in the "Journal of Cleaner Production." Interview Summary   Norbert - Brenna, I'll start with you. What are some common reasons that households waste food?   Brenna - Thanks for the question, Norbert. As we all know, because we've been working on this topic for quite some time together, there are lots of reasons why a household might waste food. Some of the big ones that we know contribute to household waste, are misunderstanding date labels. So Norbert, I know you've done some research separate on this, but if you're a consumer in the grocery store you might see "used by," "sell by," "best by," "best if used by." Lots of different terminology, none of it particularly well regulated. Only baby formula has regulations on how date labels are used. So there is definitely misunderstanding on how to apply those date labels and if they are signaling something as unsafe to eat. We also know that households struggle with planning and food inventory management. So often, I am even guilty of this. I'm a very optimistic planner when it comes to cooking for the week. But the reality is, when it's Wednesday and I'm tired and just want takeout, then you over optimistically planned your food. We also know that US households in particular, are sometimes guilty of over purchasing because they have a good host mentality. You always want more to less. You definitely don't want the issue of running out. And then similar to misunderstanding date labels, there's often concerns over food safety. And so, you know, when we think about people and their personal cost-benefit calculations, if there's a concern that something might make you sick, you might prefer to throw that out rather than incur the cost of missing work or childcare or things like that. So those are just some of the reasons. Certainly there are plenty more but I think that's probably a good starting point.   Norbert - Brenna, I really do appreciate this. I am the food safety person in my household. That is really my title. And there are just times when I have thrown things out because I just didn't know. I wasn't going to risk it. So I appreciate those comments and it seems like this is a challenge that all of us are facing. There are probably some ways that we can actually help manage this. So Linlin, I want to turn it to you now. In your view, how can we begin to reduce some of this food waste at the household level?   Linlin - There are some research showing there are ways to effectively reduce the food waste. For example, like Brenna just mentioned, we can streamline the date labeling terminology, and the industry have begun to take steps to address that. For example, the Consumers Brand Association, representing the major food manufacturers in the US, and Food Marketing Institute, representing food retailers, have begun to encourage their industry members to adopt "best if used by" for food quality, and "used by" for food safety. Another effective way to reduce food waste is larger-scale consumer education campaigns to inform consumers on issue of food waste, and also how to reduce their own food waste. Improve household planning behaviors around shopping, meal preparation, using a shopping list before you go, eat before you shop, these are all effective ways to help reduce food waste and better prepare for shopping. There are more opportunities offered for diversions, for example, composting. Those are several ways that could help with household food waste.   Norbert - Linlin, thank you so much for that. What I hear from you is this idea that there can be things at the macro level or at the governmental level, where we could change some things about how we regulate date labels. You said that industry is already doing some of this work, but there have been a couple of instances where Congress has introduced bills to actually regulate those labels for all products, not just for infant formula. There are things that we as individuals can do. So I'm really appreciative of you sharing the wide variety of ways that we can see a reduction in food waste, looking at the household, all the way up to actual federal law. Linlin, I want to continue on with you and ask you to share with our listeners more about our recent study on what food waste reduction efforts US consumers support? Could you tell us a little bit more about that?   Linlin - Sure. Our study assessed the public support for nine food waste solutions, including changes in food packaging, portion size, standardizing the data labeling system, selling imperfect produce in retail stores, making donations easier, using uneaten food to feed animals, implementing composting in communities, consumer education campaigns on food waste, and tax food waste. So we sent an online survey to a nationally representative sample of US respondents, and asked them about their support for, and perception of effectiveness, of each food waste solution I just mentioned. We found that making donations easier and the standardization of data labels, were the most supported food waste solutions.   Norbert - I must admit, I was really intrigued when we looked at the numbers. Very few people wanted to see taxes on food so I'm not surprised by that. It was interesting to see the things that they would be willing to accept as possible policy. Brenna, I'm intrigued because there was another part of this study. Will you tell us a little bit more about how support for a particular strategy relates to the belief that that strategy will work?   Brenna - So in general, we found pretty high levels of support for most food waste reduction options. To the tune that large majorities, with the exception of taxes, said that they might or definitely would support those policies. However, there is a bit of a gap when they say these same policies will be effective. If we look at just the most supporting and the people who believe the policies will be most effective, we're talking in the range of like, 15 percent-ish difference. People are generally more willing to support a policy than they believe it will be effective. There is a bit of a gap. This isn't too surprising if we look at practical examples we've already seen. Particularly as it relates to animal welfare, we see a lot of policies being passed where people want better animal welfare regulations, for, let's say, chickens related to living space. But then, when it comes to practice and we have to buy more expensive eggs, people are less willing to do that. That is something that we saw when California passed their Animal Welfare regulations. At least from an academic perspective, we call this the vote-buy gap or the claim-action gap. In general, we want to support things like reducing food waste because we all know it's undesirable. But in terms of our willingness to change behavior, that's a little bit harder to shift.   Norbert - Thank you for that. I think it's really important for us to appreciate this. I realize that we get really excited and we can be very passionate about certain causes. But when we actually have to do it, when we have to live that out, it's sometimes hard. I know that's true for all of us and so I'm grateful to hear that. I think it's something that, as policymakers begin thinking about these issues, need to take that into consideration. I'm hopeful for what we can do further. That's my question for both of you. As you watch the evolution of research on food waste, especially at the household level, take place, you know, what are some important questions that remain? What do we need to do more research on? Linlin, why don't you start?   Linlin - Yes, sure. There are a lot of questions to be answered. This is still a active area of research. So first, how can we better measure food waste at the household level on a large scale? There are several models, but still people are trying to figure out a better, more accurate, and easier way to track the food waste at the household level on a large scale. Second, I've mentioned several ways to reduce the food waste, but what's the most effective way to reduce food waste at the household level, and how does it vary with household circumstances and attributes? Those are all interesting questions for future research.   Norbert - Great. Brenna, what about you?   Brenna - Well, I definitely agree with the things that Linlin said, and I would just add the personal space that I'm increasingly interested in, is the intersection between food waste and nutrition. So we know that the US generally has a food waste problem, and we also have an obesity problem that are both linked to maybe having surplus or excess food. Yet when we think about them from a policy perspective, we don't generally talk about them together. I think we need to spend a little bit more time thinking about the nutritional consequences associated with food waste, and how do we get people to kind of behave in a way that's optimal to both nutrition outcomes as well as waste outcomes.   Norbert - I do believe that both of these topics are really ones that are important to us. I appreciate the challenge of trying to evaluate what actual food waste happens and trying to understand the interventions that are most effective, and particularly ones that don't cost as much but also leads to the greatest outcome. And then Brenna, the work that you're talking about, linking food waste and concerns around nutrition and wellbeing, are also really critical. So thank you both for all of those responses, and really, thank you for participating in this podcast.   Bios   Brenna Ellison is an Associate Professor and Undergraduate Program Coordinator in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University.

Our Original Thinking Podcast series showcases some of the world-leading research from colleagues at Alliance MBS. This event is hosted by Antony Potter, Professor of Operations and Supply Chain Management at Alliance MBS. The electric future: Unravelling how automakers collaborate with suppliers to co-develop electric, hybrid, & hydrogen fuel cell technologies Over the past ten years automakers have invested heavily in the development of new electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Although a large amount of attention has been given to the policy implications of this paradigm shift in the automotive industry, comparatively little research has studied how automakers work collaboratively with their suppliers to co-develop these eco-innovations. Using patent data from the Toyota supply network together with econometric techniques and endogeneity analysis Antony will investigate how the automaker co-develops innovations with different suppliers. His findings unravel the unique way in which the automaker collaborates with external suppliers to develop buyer-supplier innovations, supplier-supplier innovations, supplier innovation triads, and inter-firm knowledge spillovers. Finally, he will discuss the managerial and policy implications of his findings considering the transition to net zero in the automotive industry. Professor Antony Potter is the Professor of Operations and Supply Chain Management at the Alliance Manchester Business School (University of Manchester). His research interests focus on Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, and Innovation & NPD. In particular, his research investigates how different operations and SCM practices enable firms to co-develop innovations within global supply networks, especially for electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles. In addition, he undertakes interdisciplinary research into supply chain risk management, supplier disruptions, lean manufacturing (the Toyota Production System), and the evolution of clusters and supply networks. His published articles have appeared in leading international journals including the Journal of Operations Management (a Financial Times top 50 journal), Research Policy (a Financial Times top 50 journal), Journal of Product Innovation Management (Grade 4 journal, ABS list), International Journal of Operations and Production Management (Grade 4 journal, ABS list), Journal of Economic Geography (Grade 4 journal, ABS list), International Journal of Production Economics (Grade 3 journal, ABS list), Regional Studies (Grade 3 journal, ABS list), Production Planning & Control (Grade 3, ABS List), Journal of Cleaner Production, and Trends in Food Science and Technology. He has won a number of international awards for his research, such as the Emerald Literati Award for Excellence: Highly Commended Award (2020), Runner up for IJOPM's 2019 Best Paper Award, the Chris Voss Highly Commended Award (EUROMA, 2013), Chris Voss Best Paper Award (EUROMA, 2012), and the Chan Hahn Best Paper Award Finalist (Academy of Management, 2012). In addition, he won the 2019 Runner Up Prize for the 'Teacher of the Year Award' and the 2022 ‘Researcher of the Year Award' at Alliance Manchester Business School. The event is facilitated by Joao Quariguasi Frota Net, Professor in Operations Management at Alliance MBS.

This month on the EXALT podcast we were joined by Janne Salovaara from the Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Programme (DENVI) at University of Helsinki. His research looks at the discipline of sustainability science from the perspective of how it is educated at the University level. Janne's first degree is in graphic design and his idea of design was that it was the path to change the world. He thought a lot about what are moral, ethics, and societal responsibility of a design. His frustration with design as a profession led him to the Creative Sustainability program at Aalto University. Our conversation was wide ranging and exciting. The big question we tackled is what is sustainability? It is such a buzzword today, but what does it mean in practice? What is the imaginary of sustainability actually supposed to be? What are we trying to sustain and how do we keep sustainability safe from corporate capture? We explored some of the ontological, epistemological, and practical problems of sustainability. We discussed how it is being taught and what are some of the big failings of sustainability as a concept and a practice.

Are Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson and Elon Musk doing civilization a favor and advancing science? Are they preparing to colonize space like the Borg in Star Trek: The Next Generation? Or are they seeking status and boosting their egos – AND their carbon footprints – with expensive toys? July was a big month for space travel, with two billionaires blasting into space. Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic sold seats and launched space tourists into near space and promised many repeat performances. Elon Musk's SpaceX plans manned Earth orbits before the year ends. Most of us tend to believe in science and support government funding of scientific advancement. But if we're in a climate emergency, should we put non-essential, carbon-intensive research projects on hold in order to implement every possible CO2 emissions cut? In this episode, environmentalist Stephanie Gardner joins host Dave Gardner to explore the questions these flights raise. They also examine the carbon footprints of lifestyles of the rich and famous.

Moral Shame Talks is a podcast series of three episodes that explores the complexities of consumers' moral shame in the context of the sustainability debate within the fashion industry. By tackling moral shame –a form of shame that consumers experience in their consumer behaviour while knowing they are not making sustainable choices – stories can be told about the complexity and systemics of the fashion industry and the sustainability debate in it. In the podcast series Lindy Boerman, finals student of the ArtEZ Master Fashion Strategy, collects different ideas, critical perspectives and personal thoughts. By including personal stories consumers have about moral shame and reflecting on this together with people from various professional background and with various perspectives she gives meaning to, and places moral shame in the contemporary context.   In this episode, Christine (Cimpian, MA Behavioural Science, RU) and Lindy discuss moral shame from a behavioural science point of view. They take a look at what is crucial to moral shame: a friction between the consumers' sustainability aspirations and ambitions and their actual behaviour. Christine and Lindy investigate what plays an important role in the consumer behaviour that leads to moral shame.   Sources Christine mentions Interested in temporal discounting in relation to sustainability?  Read (1) Green, L. & Myerson, J., 2004.

Negli ultimi anni si è sollevato un acceso dibattito a proposito della reale sostenibilità delle bioenergie. A parte qualche eccezione, i biocarburanti di prima generazione hanno sostanzialmente fallito a causa dell'effetto ILUC, che sta a indicare lo slittamento a catena delle coltivazioni di terreno in terreno (di solito da uno più fertile a uno che lo è meno) che si verifica quando si introducono nuove colture energetiche. L'effetto ILUC implica inevitabilmente un impatto ambientale, tale, in molti casi, da causare più emissioni dei carburanti fossili.Questo paradosso delle bioenergie può però essere però evitato facendo attenzione a che biomassa si usa: la biomassa di scarto, per esempio, non pone problemi. La notizia è che una ricerca dell'ENEA pubblicata sul Journal of Cleaner Production ha mostrato risultati straordinariamente buoni per i biocarburanti ottenuti da biomassa proveniente dalle fasce tampone, fasce di rispetto presenti tra i corsi d'acqua e i campi agricoli che servono a trattenere il suolo ed i nutrienti, larghe solitamente 5 m e obbligatorie in Italia. Ospite Alessandro Agostini, Ricercatore del Dip. di Tecnologie energetiche e Fonti rinnovabili dell'ENEA

Hoy os traemos un tema calentito calentito. Sí, vamos a hablar del aguacate. Sabemos que está muy de moda, que es super instagrameable y tal pero… realmente ¿qué hay detrás? ¿Es todo tan bonito y verde? Ya os spoileamos: no. Nos encanta el aguacate, pero después de saber todo lo que implica, nos lo pensamos un poco más antes de comprar esta fruta.

D'Maris did her undergraduate training at the Wharton School in managerial and financial economics and her PhD in the School of Arts & Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. While at Penn, her doctoral research in the UK was funded in part by the Mellon Foundation under the guise of an IHR pre-doctoral fellowship and an SSRC international dissertation fellowship. She has lived in the UK more or less continuously since 2005 (with a brief nine-month stint back at Penn in 2007/8 to finish her PhD and teach as a departmental lecturer), and thus holds both American and British citizenship.

Wenn sich die Umwelt verändert, hat das auch Resonanz in Organisationen. Sie reagieren auf die Umwelt und richten sich nach gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen. Sie passen sich an und verändern dadurch Struktur. Wichtig ist, welche Funktionssysteme in der Gesellschaft aktuell und relevant sind. Darauf stellen sich Organisationen auch ein. Am Beispiel der Corona-Krise kann man das gut am Thema Gesundheit beobachten. Der gesellschaftliche Stellenwert von Gesundheit verändert sich erheblich - die hier gezeigten Mechanismen werden sich auch in Unternehmen zeigen. Diese Anpassungen verändern Struktur und Werte. Mit Prof. Steffen Roth sprechen wir über das Warum und Wie. Wichtig ist, welche Funktionssysteme sind in der Gesellschaft aktuell und relevant sind. Darauf stellen sich Organisationen auch ein.

www.patreon.com/electricvehiclepodcast ☝Support this podcast & get all unlisted episodesMost of the research on early adopters focuses on two self-identities that correspond to purchasing electric vehicles:1) The environmentalist identity, and2) The so-called car-authority identityThe environmentalist identity describes people with a pro-environmental orientation as part of their lifestyle and part of their self-image. The car-authority identity describes people who are experts on cars. These types of early adopters, the ones that are mainly technology-driven, don’t really care about the environmental benefits of EVs. They mainly care about the technical attributes of the vehicles. I, personally, have encountered both types of identities by talking to EV owners. But from my personal impression, there seem to be more car-authority types than environmentalists amongst EV buyers. What do you think, what are your experiences? I would love to hear about your thoughts. Send an e-mail! Also, let me know if you have to add a type of identity to this list. I, for example, hope that soon the identity of being very responsible with money and expenditures will be the type of identity that is associated with electric vehicles.

Episode 4:  In this episode, the host, Angie Gust, continues discussing John Travis’s 12 dimensions of wellness as a way to improve your own personal health and wellness. This episode focuses on eating and the benefits of a whole food plant-based diet. She also discusses food choices in terms of climate change. For instance, eating beef and lamb has a larger greenhouse gas impact than grain, fruits and vegetables. Several personal actions are suggested so that everyone can be part of the solution.   References Campbell, T. Colin, Chen, J and Parpia, B.

What is 12 meters long, loaded with water canisters, drives usual bus routes in a Chinese city, without letting any passengers in at the stops? Sounds like an awesome practical experiment to test the real energy performance of electric urban buses!The actual real-life energy consumption of electric buses is higher than the results from laboratory tests due to congested traffic, heavy loads and air-conditioning. Therefore, the actual driving range is smaller than expected. If the electric bus cannot cover this with one charge, then the concept of overnight charging is not sufficient. In Macao, where the share of renewables is relatively high, the electric bus produces less CO2 emissions than a comparative diesel bus. This calculation might look totally different in areas with higher fossil energy shares. Therefore, by enhancing the urban air quality, urban buses shift the environmental burden just to a different area. Is this a reason to give up on electric buses?Contact InformationE-Mail: electric-vehicle-podcast@outlook.comWebsite: www.electric-vehicle-podcast.comTwitter: teresa_rhoferFacebook: ElectricVehiclePodcastReferences[1] He et al., “Energy consumption and well-to-wheels air pollutant emissions of battery electric buses under complex operating conditions and implications on fleet electrification,” Journal of Cleaner Production, vol. 171, pp. 714–722, Jan. 2018.

Gudrun talks to Zaheer Ahamed about the influence of an increasing number of Electric vehicles (EV) to the electrical grid. Zaheer just finished the ENTECH Master's program. He started it with his first year at the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) and continued in Uppsala University for the second year.Gudrun was part of the grading process of Zaheer's master thesis "Estimating Balancing Capacities of Electric Vehicles on the German and Swedish grids in 2030". The rising awareness of pollution from transport is leading to innovations within the transport sector. At the moment EVs are the leading technology. With many countries Germany and Sweden joined the so-called EV30@30 campaign, aiming for 30% of new vehicles sales to be electric by 2030. These ambitions alongside an ever increasing capacity of variable renewable energy sources (RES) in our power systems, pose a concerning challenge for Transmission systems operators (TSO) to maintain proper power system operation. Imbalances between supply and demand are undesirable in any electrical power system and with the rising popularity of EVs and RES such events are only expected to continue or increase.Fortunately, with the recent development of Vehicle to grid (V2G) concepts as well as extensive studies into the load-shifting potential of EVs, EVs presents an interesting solution for power system balancing distributed energy storage system. Zaheer's study showed that EV are capable of balancing the grid for approximately 60% of the time providing 55-60% of the total balancing energy required. However, the operation also took heavy toll on the EV’s battery performance as it could potentially reduce its life to a 1/7th of its original lifetime.
