After more than 4 years of intense work, last Tuesday, September 26th, the Final Conference of the LOCOMOTION project was held within the framework of the 18th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES). The Final Conference consisted of two special sessions and a side event on the main results of […] The post LOCOMOTION Final Conference in Dubrovnik first appeared on LOCOMOTION.| LOCOMOTION
A new policy brief by the EEB argues that the EU’s approach to work within the just transition and European Green Deal is narrow and outdated. The EU must go beyond the green economy and decarbonisation of male-dominated sectors to include everyone contributing to a sustainable future. Working time reduction and job guarantee schemes could help drive […] The post Enabling future-fit work for all: beyond green jobs and (un)just transition first appeared on LOCOMOTION.| LOCOMOTION
Managing energy intensity could be a make-or-break factor in sustainability transitions. Successful decarbonisation needs more than the right energy mix. A new study by the LOCOMOTION project suggests it also requires a sound policy mix combining energy efficiency, electrification and demand management accounting for sectoral interdependencies.

Accelerating towards zero-emission mobility could lead to the depletion of materials such as copper, cobalt and lithium within 30 years or sooner. For net-zero mobility, technological innovation is not enough: we need to rethink our travels, and the benefits could also be social By Andreas Budiman Now that electric vehicles are starting to populate the […] The post Moving within limits: this is why zero impact mobility needs degrowth first appeared on LOCOMOTION.| LOCOMOTION
The past few years have turned the EU’s perception of raw materials on its head. The seeming stability turned into lingering insecurity. Amid global tensions, ruthless war at its borders, and price spikes, the EU needs to secure the necessary supply of materials for net zero while preventing resource depletion and ensuring a just transition.

Electrification is a necessary step towards sustainable mobility. However, it has never been sufficient. Mobility in the twenty-first century will necessitate more than simply switching to a cleaner energy source. By Andreas Budiman Decarbonising transport takes vast amounts of resources. According to a new study published within the LOCOMOTION project, achieving net zero by mid-century […] The post Slowing down to ramp up: why net zero mobility needs degrowth first appeared on LOCOMOTION.| LOCOMOTION
