TULIP Consuting is excited to share a new report, commissed by the Flanders Waste Management Agency #OVAM, entitled: "The Missing Piece of the EU Green Deal: the case for an EU Resources Law".
Colette van der Ven retweeted
This report demonstrates the importance of establishing an EU Resources Law - similar to the Climate Law - to address overconsumption of resources.
In a new policy brief, @PascalLAMYPPF, @genevieve_pons @Cláudia Azevedo, and I explore what a pro-development green trade agenda could look like concretely. The paper includes case studies on carbon pricing and trade in transition minerals critical to achieving decarbonization.
