First report assessing the recently introduced French “Repairability index.”

🧵
A “tsunami of e-waste”: in 2019 the global amount reached a staggering 53.6 million metric tons - an increase of 58% in less than 10 years, making it the world’s fastest growing waste stream.
Transferring these numbers to the global population would assign 7.3 kilograms to each individual. Yet, in France it reaches 21 kg per capita, indicating that more developed countries are responsible for the lion share of the total amount.

The idea of #degrowth made it to the latest IPCC report.

🧵
The term “degrowth” is mentioned 27 times in the 3,675 pages of the full report (12 of these mentions occur in the bibliography). There is no mention of it neither in the 96 pages technical summary nor in the 36 pages summary for policy makers.
The first mention of the term happens in “Chapter 1: Point of Departure and Key Concepts,” in the penultimate section titled “Facilitating Long-Term Transformation," where degrowth is contrasted with ecomodernism on the issue of decoupling.

Another spectacular empirical study on unequal exchange by @jasonhickel, @C_Dorninger, Hanspeter Wieland, and Intan Suwandi.

🧵
The article is looking for evidence of something called "unequal exchange." (For more: compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…)
Finding: there is a net flow of resources from the global South to the global North. For example, for every unit of labour that the South imports from the North, they have to export on average 13 units to pay for it.

Here is an indispensable piece of work to understand the global dynamics of environmental pressures. Thomas Wiedmann & Manfred Lenzen in @NatureGeosci.

🧵
In a globalised economy, many processes of production scatter through complex, international supply chains. To calculate the footprint of one single country, one must keep track of all the impacts its consumption has abroad.
This article is a review of the empirical literature that has looked at the environmental and social impacts embodied in international trade.

An interesting article by @JPTilsted et al. on the "green" growth of Nordic countries (that is actually not as green as you may have heard).

🧵 Image
The article criticises the concept of "Genuine Green Growth" from @estoknes and @jrockstrom arguing that the growth of Nordic countries is not as genuine and green as it seems. Image
In the Stoknes & Rockström paper, the authors show that the emission patterns of Nordic countries sometime meets the green growth requirement of a yearly 5% improvement in carbon productivity (the straight blue line). Image
