This lovely little creature just paid me a visit in the IEEP - Institute for European Environmental Policy London office. If anyone can identify it, please let me know! (It seemed at home on the EU Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy, if that helps 😉)

This week is the #WorldWaterWeek 💦🌍 Did you know that: 🔹 8 million tonnes of plastics are released into the world’s oceans each year 🧴 🔹 Plastics constitute 85% of marine litter 🥤 🔹 Half of all litter found on beaches are single-use plastics 🏖️ ieep.eu/publications/n…

A beautiful country that I've been lucky enough to visit. It's brilliant to see Vanuatu taking world-leading action on single-use plastics!

Some reactions from me for IEEP - Institute for European Environmental Policy on the #VdLCommission and the mission letters sent to each Commissioner ieep.eu/news/the-von-d…

A chance to work with an excellent team! #circulareconomy #lowcarbon #environmentaljobs

Little update on #plasticpollution! If you want to read a nice summary of what policy can do to tackle our never-ending #seaofplastic issue, have a read at the book chapter I wrote with @Clem_Richer and Emma Watkins based on IEEP - Institute for European Environmental Policy’s research: link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

I think we've all been subjected to - or maybe even found ourselves asking - a couple of these types of questions!

In case you missed it, here's a link to watch this morning's #eaDebates on #circulareconomy #sustainableproducts and #digitalproductpassports. Thanks to Euractiv for the invitation and to my fellow panellists for an interesting discussion!

EU polluters are not currently paying for most of the environmental damage they cause. Read our study for EU Environment on how taxes and other economic instruments could help in applying the polluter pays principle 👇 #ClimateJustice ieep.eu/publications/h…

Reducing #PlasticWaste is key contributor to the 🇪🇺 #CircularEconomy Action Plan as part of the #EUGreenDeal All circular economy strategies do, however, have a risk of both good and negative environmental and social spillovers. Our briefing by Emma Watkins 👇

If #CircularEconomy is your thing, do take a look at this report I co-authored with Agata Meysner! It also includes analysis on the links between circular economy and the #zeropollution #resourcesecurity #climate and #biodiversity agendas.

Registrations still open for this interesting online discussion next week! 🌿

🆕️ Very happy to share our first 3 case studies (🇧🇪 🇮🇹 🇸🇪) on how to increase social acceptability of #LowEmissionZones. 2 more case studies (🇧🇬 🇵🇱) & a final paper will be published early September. Thanks to Clean Air Fund for their generous support! #airquality #cleanair

🚀 Our series of case studies on #LowEmissionZones in EU cities is now complete! We've examined LEZ implementation in Stockholm, Milan, Brussels, Sofia, and Warsaw for the Clean Air Fund. Read more 👇 ieep.eu/publications/g… #airquality #cities
