01.01.2021. The Industrial Ecology Digital Lab provides sustainable digital solutions for sustainability research.
16.12.2020. Fireplug, CircWtE, SusWoodStoves - 3 new cutting-edge projects founded by the Norwegian Research Council involving the Industrial Ecology Programme.
12.12.2020. Tiny homes to fix the climate? - New blog post by Prof. Edgar Hertwich
22.11.2020. EXIOBASE update: v3.8. We just released a new update for the EXIOBASE 3 MRIO time-series of monetary tables: v3.8. It is a full re-estimate of the time-series, but still relies heavily on "now-casting" economic structure (and environmental extensions).

Abandoned cropland helps make Europe cooler. Abandoned cropland — or land cover change more generally — and its role in regional climate can help to us adapt and mitigate the effects of climate change. And by improving agricultural systems, we can free up land for multiple uses.
