Scenarios for low material demand and material caps - Modelling approaches and policy relevance

Economic growth, urbanisation and the transition to renewable energies drive material consumption. Due to the huge environmental impact, geopolitical and actual resource scarcity, and increasing resistance against high-impact mining projects, material supply emerges as a major bottleneck to sustainable development. A growing research stream thus deals with questions of achieving high human wellbeing with lower levels of material consumption. Here, we showcase part of the substantial industrial ecology research on the topic of sustainable material futures and invite for a discussion on the policy relevance of our findings and future research directions within our community and beyond.

July 21st, 8-9:30 UTC // 10-11:30 CEST // 16-17:30 CST // 17-18:30 JST.
