EU plan for green recovery from covid19. How is EU financed? What is EU's own resources? Since 2018, the Commission has proposed several solutions for new sources of revenue of the EU budget. A new contribution based on the non-recycled plastic packaging waste has now been introduced. Work towards the introduction of sources of revenue linked to a carbon border adjustment mechanism, a digital levy and the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS) continues.

What is the legal, economic and political implications regarding new forms of own resources?

The Recovery and Resilience Facility

As part of a wide-ranging response, the aim of the Recovery and Resilience Facility is to mitigate the economic and social impact of the coronavirus pandemic and make European economies and societies more sustainable, resilient and better prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the green and digital transitions.

The Facility is a temporary recovery instrument. It allows the Commission to raise funds to help Member States implement reforms and investments that are in line with the EU's priorities and that address the challenges identified in country-specific recommendations under the European Semester framework of economic and social policy coordination. It makes available €723.8 billion (in current prices) in loans (€385.8 billion) and grants (€338 billion) for that purpose.

The RRF helps the EU achieve its target of climate neutrality by 2050 and sets Europe on a path of digital transition, creating jobs and spurring growth in the process.

"Twin transitions: climate neutrality and digital transitions"

The visual shows that Member States have allocated almost 40% of the spending in their plans to climate measures and more than 26% on the digital transition across the 22 recovery and resilience plans approved so far. This exceeds the agreed targets of 37% for climate and 20% for digital spending.

Joint, coordinated action at the European level is more effective and benefits Member States more than individual national expenditures, not least due to significant spillover effects across countries.

The effects of NextGenerationEU on the EU's real GDP (until 2024 in a high productivity scenario)

"Quantifying Spillovers of Next Generation EU Investment, Discussion Paper July 2021."
The Facility is structured around six pillars: green transition; digital transformation; economic cohesion, productivity and competitiveness; social and territorial cohesion; health, economic, social and institutional resilience; policies for the next generation.
"Six pillars of the Recovery and Resilience Facility"

Scoreboard

The Recovery and Resilience Scoreboard displays EU countries' progress in implementing their recovery and resilience plans and shows common indicators to report on progress and evaluate the Recovery and Resilience Facility and the national plans.

How does it work?

The RRF entered into force on 19 February 2021. It finances reforms and investments in Member States from the start of the pandemic in February 2020 until 31 December 2026. To finance NextGenerationEU, the European Commission, on behalf of the EU, will borrow on the capital markets.

To benefit from the support of the Facility, Member States submit their recovery and resilience plans to the European Commission. Each plan sets out the reforms and investments to be implemented by end-2026 and Member States can receive financing up to a previously agreed allocation.

Each plan should effectively address challenges identified in the European Semester, particularly the country-specific recommendations of 2019 and 2020 adopted by the Council. It should also advance the green and digital transitions and make Member States' economies and societies more resilient.

The Recovery and Resilience Facility is performance based. Fulfilment of agreed milestones and targets towards achieving the reforms and investments in the plans will unlock regular payment.

Hej, I am senior lecturer at LTH/Dept. of Immunotechnology. We focus on using human cellular (in vitro) models to understand and predict (immuno-)toxic effects, and apply a variety of biochemical, immunological and -omics technologies to realise that. It is also in our interest to interact and discuss with policy makers to work for a chemically safe (work and private) environment, also by aiding the industry in choosing the less harmful chemical alternatives.
If any aspect sounds relevant to you, I'd be happy to hear from you: kathrin.zeller@immun.lth.se

Best wishes and good luck with your work!

In the past, we managed to do some practice-based research and MA projects that address various SDGs in one form of another, more or less successfully. We also collaborated with UNOPS on projects in the last two years.

• Integrating people in the design process and possibly fabrication of tangible goods versus outsourced mass-production with people as passive consumers (technological, cultural, societal and political aspects)
• Citizen science for non-specialists that renders the invisible visible and hopefully incites action (technological, societal and political aspects)
• Off-grid products and IoT-enabled products („smart …“) (usability, technological and political aspects)

In any case, if user experience, formal aesthetics and affordability of design for people don’t line up with their real-world context, culture and behaviour, it remains prescriptive, scholarly or PR, with no lasting impact.

If some of the above triggers your interest, please email andreas.hopf@design.lth.se

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Brundtland report). Universal design (UD) is design usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. UD has potential as an important tool when it comes to the transformation towards a sustainable, diverse and inclusive society. UD shares the goals of “inclusion”, “access” and “participation” with “social sustainable development”. I believe UD has potential as a useful tool in the sustainability toolbox and would be interested in exploring this further.

Climate change adaptation in the water sector through the inclusion of local knowledge, indigenous knowledge and traditional knowledge

# data[].attributes.body
Hej! I am a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Human Geography.
I am leading a UN IPCC chapter focusing on water and adaptation and I am a feminist geographer.
I am interested in exploring how climate change adaptation can integrate local knowledge, indigenous knowledge and/or traditional knowledge. I would like to focus particularly on adaptation strategies that are aimed at reducing risks related to climate change induced water insecurity e.g. droughts, floods, sea level rise etc and look at how these have been carried out successfully or not.  I am excited about the possibility of interdisciplinary collaboration on this topic - so please check out my profile and get in contact with me!

I am a feminist geographer researching human-environment interactions, specifically investigating the human dimensions of water . I am interested in waterscapes and how they are modified, reified and used by people and in turn, how local and indigenous communities, adapt their norms and customs in the face of climate change. I have also researched that role that and play in (mal)adapting to water insecurity. I have conducted research in , , and Appalachia in the USA .

My ethical standpoint as a feminist geographer is grounded on the importance of participatory and decolonizing research methodologies, which demand the sharing of research results with participating communities. Accordingly, I have disseminated my research in different formats e.g. workshops with research participants and booklets in local languages .

Coordinating Lead Author of the 2021 6th United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Report . I am leading the chapter on Water in the 2nd Working Group on Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation.

I am also interested in the neoliberal turn of the academia and its consequences for early- career female faculty and researchers. I am a member of the International Geographical Union Gender Commission Steering Committee .

My complete CV is available Past and ongoing projects include: here

- "Towards the Appalachian Storage Hub. An analysis of economic, social and environmental consequences of gas extraction and distribution. " Thanks to funding received by the Heinz Foundation Sustainability Program and the West Virginia University Humanities Center I investigate how local communities in the tri-state area have been affected economically, socially and environmentally by the development of gas and oil pipelines related to the planned Appalachian Storage Hub. The data gathered will be shared with the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition (OVEC), a major environmental NGO in the tri-state area, to support advocacy among citizens and policy makers.

- "Impaired waters, impaired bodies. Gendered embodied resistance extractivism. A transnational perspective." By examining the predominant role that women have played and are playing in the watershed movement in West Virginia , this project explored the embodied dimensions of water pollution caused by extractivism in the form of coal mining and hydraulic fracturing. In collaboration with Dr. Sofia Zaragocin, at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador, I explored the transnational gendered embodied dimensions of extractivism with a comparison between WV and Ecuador and guest edited a special issue in Human Geography.

East African Hydropatriarchies: An analysis of changing waterscapes in smallholder irrigation farming ." As part of my dissertation, I analyzed how climate change adaptation is gendered and how landscape was being changed to adapt in the context of smallholder irrigation farming in Kenya and Tanzania.

Achieving resilience and sustainability of academic research

Achieving resilience and sustainability of academic research

# data[].attributes.body
My name is Pierre Tichit. I am currently finishing my PhD degree on the visual ecology of bees at the Biology department, and I wish to do a post-doc on projects that more directly contributes to the sustainability of human societies and of their interaction with the environment.

In light of covid-19, environmental crises and political uncertainty, I would find it relevant to investigate the academic process itself, and to identify scenarios where researchers and universities both reduce their negative impact on the environment (e.g. in term of carbon footprint), and increase their resilience against socio-economical instabilities. Concretely, I think that the current global pandemic has shown the dependence of researchers on international mobility to perform field experiments, travel to conferences, etc, but has also highlighted promising alternatives such as e-conferences and remote working. I propose (without having myself more knowledge of this field than my own academic experience) to build an interdisciplinary research project at the boundary between social, political and environmental science that gathers both quantitative and qualitative data in order to better identify ways to optimise the resilience and sustainability of academic research in face of environmental and societal dynamics.

Feel free to contact me (pierre.tichit@biol.lu.se) to discuss potential collaborations.

Biography

I spent much of my childhood close to Paris, France, where I began to study Biology in 2008. Two years later, I moved to Lyon to write my Bachelor and Masters theses at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon. I have always been puzzled by the way animals behave, and my previous projects during my Masters degree convinced me that research on behaviour gains a lot to be considered within the scope of the perceptual challenges animals face in their natural environments.

My Masters thesis consisted in the study of collective motion of fish in Toulouse, France, and on the other hand of the acoustic behaviour of echolocating bats in Odense, Denmark.I started a PhD within the Lund Vision Group in September 2016.

Current research

Bumblebees of the genus Bombus are present in a wide range of distinct environments, ranging from dark cluttered rainforests in the tropics to the open tundra of the Arctic Circle. No matter if tropical, temperate or artic, a bumblebee species must be able to find relevant cues in the available visual scene to fly and navigate. The aim of my PhD project is to investigate what kind of visual and flight adaptations bumblebees have, that enable them to safely manoeuver through the diverse range of environments they inhabit.

To do so, my plan is to use information from advanced micro computed tomography techniques to investigate the anatomy of the eyes and possibly peripheral brain structures of several bumblebee species. Those models will allow to understand what elements bees perceive in different visual environments and to relate each specialisation to the visual information available in their habitat. I will combine those results with behavioural experiments both in the lab and in the field to evaluate the visual flight control abilities of different Bombus species.

Hi,
I am Matteo Rossi, BUL at Engineering Geology division.

I am interested in investigating how climate change might affect the water supply in Skåne/Sweden.
An accurate characterization of aquifers and the vadose zones is essential to have predictive models of possible future scenarios.

I have experience in estimating the hydrological parameters of the vadose zone coupling geophysical and hydrological models, but a more interdisciplinary approach is needed.

Is someone interested to add/integrate a similar concept idea?
