I am very happy with my piece in on of the main Dutch newspapers on the occurrence of ecological economics education in The Netherlands. Hint: it almost doesnt exist, and needs to be changed!

This man must be very proud of himself. New research from The Lancet shows that cutting USAID will lead to 14 million (!) deaths, most of them on the African continent.

But people still see him, and his former boss, as genuine heroes. These are truly sad times.

A good read if you want to understand that a real energy transition is still very, very far away. Let alone our material transition...

Thoughts on Scarcity, a great read by Fredrik Johnson and Carl Wennerlind.
