Many international institutions, such as the United Nations and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recognise that a societal transformation towards sustainability is needed to curb climate change, bend the curve of biodiversity loss and reach other environmental and social sustainability goals. The multitude of environmental crises and lack of progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals emphasises the need to change from our current business-as-usual attitude towards inherently sustainable practices.
In this project, we aim to analyse climate change mitigation strategies (e.g. electric mobility, biobased energy and materials, and carbon credits) and their potential to contribute to societal sustainability transformations, or perhaps hinder true transformations. Topics that we aim to include in the analysis are impacts of a climate change mitigation strategy on land and resource scarcity, implications for global and intergenerational justice, and how the strategies support or hinder the achievement of other sustainability targets.
Profile
You hold a Master's degree in environmental science, sustainability science, environmental and resource management or an equivalent interdisciplinary field, or will have completed such a degree before the start date.
You are excited to integrate different lines of thinking and research into an interdisciplinary research design.
You enjoy working in a team as well as independently and taking responsibility for developing this project.
You have experience with one or more of the following methods for data collection and analysis: discourse analysis, interviews, statistics, life cycle assessment, input-output modelling.
Additional knowledge of and experience with one or several climate mitigation strategies would be a plus.
You have excellent oral and written communication skills in English.
We are
The mission of the Environmental Science cluster of RIBES is to provide high-quality scientific knowledge that can help the world move towards greater sustainability.
