Why we talk about a fossil-free EU, not a carbon-free one [Promoted content] https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy-environment/opinion/why-we-talk-about-a-fossil-free-eu-not-a-carbon-free-one/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #bioeconomy #circulareconomy #climate #NetNeutrality #promoted

It was a real privilege to co-organise this UK-India dialogue on #BioGovernance and #ScienceDiplomacy with the RIS in Delhi last week, as part of a series of discussions of this year’s #G20 programme
(Background paper and full agenda: https://t.co/uDUf7cyE6W)

We were thrilled to have Dr Renu Swarup (former Secretary of the Department of Biotechnology) give the opening keynote and launch our special issue, #Bioeconomy for the Common Good.

Conference report and next steps to follow.

Happy to share our new paper "Neoliberal pathways to the #bioeconomy: Forest land use institutions in Chile, Finland, and Laos" Open Access:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1389934123001363

By #JuhaHiedanpää, #MattiSalo and myself. #JustGlobe project.

Taking an institutional perspective to land use planning & change, we explore the different varieties of neoliberalism in relations to bioeconomy; from Utopian neoliberalism in #Chile, to Authoritarian neoliberalism in #Laos and the Nordic variety in Finland.

In this opinion piece, Jonah Wittkamper, Mariana Senna, and Ricardo Politi argue that donors should urgently scale up support for the development of an Amazon #bioeconomy based around protecting the world’s largest #rainforest.

Without such intervention, there is a risk of the Amazon rainforest ecosystem collapsing, a development that would destabilize regional rainfall, unleash massive carbon emissions, and drive large-scale species extinction.

• Bioeconomy may drive knowledge appropriation that further settler colonialism.
• Addressing the colonial engagements is central to avoid epistemicide.
...
Forms of knowledge that differ from dominant ‘Western’ knowledge are either not recognized, or are misused for land reoccupation and knowledge appropriation.

RT @fagerah2: DG Clima, Christian Holzleitner describes the climate benefits of bio-based products & technological CO2 removals

In my opinion it's crucial to remember this: Only if forests provide raw material, it is possible to create also product sinks and technological sinks
