Associate Professor in Circular Economy at University of Leeds. Enables sustainability transitions. Likes wind turbines. Also, trained zookeeper, may post about guinea pigs. Views my own.
In the lovely Lund for a guest visit to IIIEE @jlrichter.bsky.social about #CircularEconomy #Renewables and more.
Looking forward to speak about theory for facilitating sustainability transitions for a circular economy based on success cases such as the #resources and #wind industries!

Good on the French legal system. Politicians cannot steal close to €5M & go unpunished or even become president.
Wish more countries would keep up legal boundaries like this.

Good on Dutch pension funds. One demanding explanation from BlackRock about leaving this #NetZero alliance, and will likely move all investments elsewhere. And another sold all shares in the man-child's EV firm.

NGOs welcome the reduction of Salma al-Shehab’s sentence, but continue to call for her unconditional release
We welcome the recent decision by a Saudi court to reduce the jail sentence of Saudi prisoner of conscience Salma al-Shehab from 27 years to four years, with an additional four years suspended.

In 2021 @philpurnell.bsky.social and I published our principles for facilitating transitions towards a sustainable circular economy.
The article reached a milestone of a 1,000 citations - thanks for all reads, citations and fanmail 😊 - and I thought it was time for an update on some figures.
