Can growth be considered "green"? Is it possible to continue growing in a world with finite resources? How does economic activity affect the environment and people? This Mini explores the most popular currents - green growth vs. degrowth - with the aim of answering these questions. Additionally, this chapter serves as an introduction to our series on environmental economics and beyond growth alternatives. Enjoy :)

In this mini - two of our peers discuss their research in the Netherlands and Morocco. We discuss greenhouse technology, the benefits and the challenges - a 3D view on intentions technology sharing schemes. We had a couple of audio issues with this recording so please bear with us 🧡

In our first "mini" episode (we promise that we tried to make it short)  with the help of our friend and collegue Clara Payró we adress the question of which plant-based milk alternative is the best for the environment. The answer is not straighforward, however we bring enough interesting information for you to spend a little more time in the supermarket trying to decide what to buy.

Not another greenwash podcast. Let's ease into sustainability with some debates around what greenwashing is and give you some helpful tips on how to become greenwash resistant. 

Hereby another sip of (iced) tea to welcome the summer season. In this fourth episode of the series Tea with IE, we have our first first-year interviewed! Hajar makes a great guest and shares with us interesting stories and perspectives about what keeps her motivated and realistic (rather than optimistic), her background and experience in the biggest solar facility of Morocco and her impresive language skills. For the first time we visit the continent of Africa, so join David, Maurizia and Hajar in this entertaining talk!

Industrial Ecologists are wanted! What a nice lesson of this episode and especially comforting for all current IE students! In this episode we not only celebrate our study but also learn about the work as a consultant, discuss job perspectives and meaning in a job, but also discuss how to not loose hope and become cynical in this climate crisis. Join Maurizia and David for this intriguing episode.

In this episode, our guest brings a very interesting and relevant topic to the table: climate psychology. Catrin and Maurizia talk to Gerdien de Vries, an environmental psychologist from TU Delft, about behavioural barriers for individual change in the sustainability and energy transitions, and the difference between climate and environmental psychology. Find out what the hassle factor is, what role multidisciplinarity plays in Gerdien's daily work or her insights about the interaction between her field and policy making.
