Crossing 1.5°C has become inevitable, not because the climate system has gone crazy, but because the world has not reduced emissions. It is time to reduce emissions... (and it has been for a long time) nature.com/immersive/d415…

Oil/gas companies funded Norwegian universities with 1 billion crowns over 5 years: khrono.no/universitetene… Haugan: "The role of universities is not to perfect mature technology in well-established industries" and "legitimize the Norwegian oil narrative that it lasts forever."

Read how repair of IT equipment can reduce emissions and consumption of energy and scarce materials! We did LCAs of repair scenarios for mobile phone and laptop in Norway and provide calculations for 100 and 1000 devices. Download the brochure: bit.ly/repair_now

The E-waste Monitor 2024 is out: A record 62 million tonnes (Mt) of e-waste was produced in 2022, up 82% from 2010. Billions of dollars worth of strategically-valuable resources dumped. Just 1% of rare earth element demand is met by e-waste recycling: ewastemonitor.info/the-global-e-w…

Norway still ranks #1 in #ewaste generation with 26 kg per capita. Until we get better recycling regulation and practices, #repair is the only option for preventing valuable materials going to waste. See also: bit.ly/repair_now
