The real impacts of clean mobility - Part 2 (Karel Van Acker)

Today I am very pleased to share a two-part episode on exploring the current and future resource use and climate impact of mobility. In fact, mobility is responsible for a large part of CO2 emissions, energy use and material use both for the construction of vehicles and for its associated infrastructures.This two part episode is a collaboration with the Urban Mobility Explained (UMX), a YouTube channel powered by EIT Urban Mobility (https://www.youtube.com/@urbanmobilityexplained). You can check out their channel and some of their videos as every week they cover quite broadly environmental and social impacts of mobility and solutions from cities around Europe. To explore the resource use impacts of mobility I am glad to welcome Karel Van Acker. Karel is professor in sustainable materials management @KU Leuven. His research develops strategies to realize the circular economy and on sustainability assessments of material life cycles.On PART 1 Karel and Aristide laid the groundwork for the main cornerstone of clean mobility (i.e. metals), this PART 2 moves from the materials level to the applications level. This episode focuses on the topic of Circular Economy and how it can specifically be applied in the domain of mobility in Flanders, both theoretically and in practice. === Summary ===00:00 Introduction03:03 The rules of Circular Economy 10:24 Circularity analysis in Flanders11:55 The CMUR Indicator16:32 Multi-level indicators19:58 Circularity analysis in Flanders (continued)22:59 Circular mobility36:53 The 4 scenarios38:44 Car sharing42:23 Digitalization of circular economy?53:53 Reading advice=== Links & References ===- Circular economy in Flanders: https://cemonitor.be/en/circular-economy-in-mobility/- The Materials 2030 roadmap: https://www.ami2030.eu/roadmap/Hello everyone and Welcome to the Circular Metabolism podcast, the bi-weekly meeting where we have in-depth discussions with researchers, policy makers and practitioners to better understand the metabolism of our societies (or in other words their resource use and pollution emission) and how to reduce their environmental impact in a systemic, socially just and context-specific way.You can support our independent work here : https://fr.tipeee.com/circular-metabolism-podcastYou can subscribe to our newsletter here: https://www.circularmetabolism.com/👀 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgZCqtIcoYU👂 iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/circular-metabolism-podcast/id1455115320👂 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/circular-metabolism-podcast👂 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qH9Oj4b0yF0dBidGAdFR👂 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzLzYwMWMyYzNlODg4NzQ3NjIyYmY5MzRlNg Hébergé par Acast.
