Podcast; How Green Is Your Deal?

Podcast #15: How green is your ocean? Marine governance and the European Green Deal | GreenDeal-NET

Oceans are at the forefront of climate change. As the biggest carbon sink, they play an important role in absorbing greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere. However, this absorption also heats up the ocean and results in ocean acidification, with significant negative consequences for marine ecosystems and the people who depend on them for their livelihood. At the same time, it has also become one of the prime locations for renewable energy generation.

In this episode, Froukje Maria Platjouw and Judith van Leeuwen, marine governance experts, share their insights on how the EU governs its oceans and seas, how it features into the European Green Deal, and the challenges sustainable marine governance faces.

For more information on their Horizon Europe research projects, which study how to navigate the complexity of EU marine governance under the European Green Deal to develop a coherent and integrated EU ocean policy framework, you can go here: CrossGov and PERMAGOV. You can also explore the topic further through our roundtable recording: "Delivering the European Green Deal - towards a coherent and integrated EU ocean policy framework for offshore renewable wind energy and biodiversity"

Podcast; Anders Omgaan Met Water

Anders Omgaan Met Water; Ons Toiletbezoek Is Niet Meer Van Deze Tijd

30 liter drinkwater spoelen we hier per persoon per dag door onze toilet. Niet meer van deze tijd, waarschuwen onderzoekers al langer. Maar waarom stoppen we er dan nog steeds niet mee?

Ik ga in gesprek met onderzoekers Bas van Vliet, Annemieke ter Heijne en Nora Sutton van de universiteit van Wageningen. Over besparen, hergebruiken, filteren en terugwinnen. En over onze gewoontes. Want zelfs al kan het anders en zijn er alternatieven, dan betekent dat nog niet dat alle gebruikers zomaar af willen stappen van het geliefde flush and forget.
