Yesterday, the GRU-Team visited the facilities of an Austrian e-waste recycling company. We saw how e-waste & cars are dismantled, shredded, how their plastic components are recycled, and got insights into the opportunities and challenges of implementing the #CircularEconomy.

@Carmine_Russo12 @wu_vienna @IreMonasterolo Welcome🙂

📢Happy to share that I have joined @wu_vienna as a researcher. Thanks @IreMonasterolo for the amazing opportunity. Looking forward to contributing to the #climate #finance literature. 🌎🌱 #economics #research

What a fantastic start into the week! Two days among lovely colleagues, packed with productive discussions, plenty of laughter, and amazing food 🤩

@IreMonasterolo, @StefBattiston, et al build a method to quantify #ClimatePhysicalRisk on productive assets. Investor losses are underestimated up to 70% when neglecting asset level information, and up to 82% neglecting tail acute risks #AdaptationFinance nature.com/articles/s4146…

How? 💡By evaluating actual quantities of water use (absolute water consumption or physical water-efficiency indicators). 💡Alternativly, one could also include the drivers of water productivity changes in the analysis (e.g. capital intensity, labor productivity).

New Paper out 👏 Nadin Ozcelik, Miguel Rodriguez Mendez, Antonio Sartal, and Stephan Lutter show that the improvements in economic water productivity are not necessarily associated with improvements in water efficiency 💧📈

Climate scenarios used in central bank stress tests contain a major gap, according to this research paper from @StefBattiston and @IreMonasterolo for @INSPIREgreenfin. The paper “Enhanced Scenarios for Climate Stress-tests” says that current scenarios fail to account for feedback effects from the financial system, investors’ expectations, and policy credibility in realising the scenarios. To address this, the authors propose a new generation of enhanced climate scenarios which capture the “endogeneity of climate risk”. Read more >> GreenCB.co/3XkYk8K

Tomorrow the doc #FindingTheMoney will screen at Admiral Kino in Vienna, with Q&A to follow. Join us! (Especially if the technical difficulties meant you missed the 1st screening.) admiralkino.at/produktion/fin…

The annual GRU (Global resource use research group) retreat was fabulous and brought together a lot of new ideas - stay tuned 😎
