The Public Squares Teams
Trashed & Toxic Transitions
'Trashed and toxic transitions?' The environmental burden from climate and energy transitions that go wrong.
The sustainability of a just energy transition towards a low-carbon economy is at risk. Trade- offs between low-carbon but high-material, high-waste, and high-toxicity scenarios need to be critically examined in an inter- and transdisciplinary manner.
This Public Square brings together an interdisciplinary core team to address this complex issue in partnership with other academics and non-academic players.
Potential outcomes include:
- ?improved tools to measure environmental burden,
- greater capacity in energy-economic-climate-environment modelling, a
- responsive public policy and governance systems. Important, these potential
Outputs will be co-created with policy and decision-makers, and with those who are vulnerable to climate change and the impacts of transition.?
