Medio januari 2010 organiseert het platform solidaire en duurzame Economie onder leiding van Lou Keune aan de Universiteit van Tilburg de 3e conferentie onder de titel Fair & Green Deal. Hoofdspreker zal zijn David Korten, voormalig hoogleraar aan de Harvard Business School en auteur van het boek "Agenda for a new economy: from phantom wealth to real wealth

The Education Assembly for a Sustainable Europe (EASE) project trains teachers in teaching sustainable development by designing and evaluating pre-service and in-service teacher training courses (EASE courses). These courses equip primary school teachers and pre-service teachers with the knowledge and skills required to teach lessons addressing Education for European Sustainable Development. The EASE courses intend to support teachers to gain the necessary general science knowledge about climate change and biodiversity, teaching skills to foster students’ arguing and ability to take in different perspectives and collaboratively search for solutions. This e-book reports on examining opportunities to educate and empower teachers to implement education for sustainable development goals in the context of European Grean Deal (EGD) issues. Chapter 1 delves into the educational principles underpinning the group problem solving approach. Chapters 2 and 3 detail the development, implementation, evaluation, and improvement of courses focused on education for sustainable development goals in the context of EGD for pre-service and in-service teachers. The final chapter offers concluding insights into how teachers can be better equipped to deliver high-quality education about the EGD.

De Tweede Kamer parlementaire commissie van SP-er J. de Wit doet onderzoek naar de oorzaken van de financiële crisis. In de openbare hoorzittingen wordt duidelijk dat alle betrokkenen de scguld bij andere partijen leggen. We hebben echter een grondige herziening van het financiële stelsel nodig zoals op een recent congres aan de Universiteit van Tilburg met als thema "A new fair & green Deal" wordt bepleit.

Waarom zou je als provincie of gemeente actief zijn in Brussel? Volgens Tjisse Stelpstra, gedeputeerde bij de provincie Drenthe en actief in het Europese Comité van de Regio’s, word je in Brussel “snel bewust dat we niet alles zelf in dit land kunnen oplossen.” Tijdens het gesprek zoomen we in op de energietransitie en circulaire economie, twee onderwerpen waar Drenthe een belangrijke rol speelt op Europees niveau.

Op 16 januari 2019 ondertekenden 27 partijen, waaronder hogeschool Van Hall Larenstein, de Green Deal 'Natuurinclusieve landbouw groen onderwijs'. Onderwijs, praktijk, belangenorganisaties én overheid werken hierin samen aan natuurinclusieve landbouw als structureel onderdeel van het groen onderwijs, op alle niveaus. In dit online magazine wordt een inkijkje gegeven in wat er in de afgelopen twee jaar allemaal is bereikt: er zijn projecten gestart en netwerken ontstaan, er is lesmateriaal ontwikkeld en kennis gedeeld. Er staan verhalen in van docenten, waaronder Sigrid Dassen van de opleiding Tuinbouw en Akkerbouw, maar ook van studenten, lectoren en ondernemers. Wat heeft de deal hun gebracht, welke uitdagingen liggen er nog, wat is er geleerd? Maar ook: welke wensen liggen er nog?

In Nederland ontstaan nieuwe voedselbossen en er worden nog veel meer plannen gemaakt. Is het mogelijk om een kijkje te nemen in de winstgevendheid van een voedselbos?Dit onderzoek leverde een flexibel rekeninstrument op; ‘Rekentool’ door alle kennis en resultaten van eerdere onderzoeksprojecten te combineren.

In order to gain a more mature share in the future energy supply, green gas supply chains face some interesting challenges. In this thesis green gas supply chains, based on codigestion of cow manure and maize, are considered. The produced biogas is upgraded to natural gas quality and injected into the existing distribution gas grid and thus replacing natural gas. Literature research showed that relatively much attention has been paid up to now to elements of such supply chains. Research into digestion technology, agricultural aspects of (energy) crops and logistics of biomass are examples of this. This knowledge is indispensable, but how this knowledge should be combined to help understand how future green gas systems may look like, remains a white spot in the current knowledge. This thesis is an effort to fill this gap. A practical but sound way of modeling green gassupply chains was developed, taking costs and sustainability criteria into account. The way such supply chains can deal with season dependent gas demand was also investigated. This research was further expanded into a geographical model to simulate several degrees of natural gas replacement by green gas. Finally, ways to optimize green gas supply chains in terms of energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction were explored.

Increasing urbanization and the effects of climate change will bring new challenges for cities, such as energy saving and supply of renewable energy, preventing urban heat islands and water retention to deal with more frequent downpours. A major urban surface, the surface of roofs, is nowadays hardly exploited and could be used to make cities more ‘future proof’ or resilient. Many Dutch municipalities have become aware that the use of green roofs as opposed to bituminous roofs positively contributes to these challenges and are stimulating building-owners to retrofit their building with green roofs. This study aims at comparing costs and benefits of roof types, focused on green roofs (intensive and extensive) both on building- and city scale. Core question is the balance between costs and benefits for both scales, given varying local conditions. Which policy measures might be needed in the future in order to apply green roofs strategically in regard to local demands? To answer this question the balance of costs and benefits of green roofs is divided into a public and an individual part. Both balances use a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats framework to determine the chance of success for the application of green roofs, considering that the balance for green roofs on an individual scale influences the balance on a public scale. The outcome of this combined analyses in the conclusion verifies that a responsible policy and a local approach towards green roofs is necessary to prepare the city sufficiently for future climate changes. http://dx.doi.org/10.13044/j.sdewes.d6.0225

In Europe, green hydrogen and biogas/green gas are considered important renewable energy carriers, besides renewable electricity and heat. Still, incentives proceed slowly, and the feasibility of local green gas is questioned. A supply chain of decentralised green hydrogen production from locally generated electricity (PV or wind) and decentralised green gas production from locally collected biomass and biological power-to-methane technology was analysed and compared to a green hydrogen scenario. We developed a novel method for assessing local options. Meeting the heating demand of households was constrained by the current EU law (RED II) to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80% relative to fossil (natural) gas. Levelised cost of energy (LCOE) analyses at 80% GHG emission savings indicate that locally produced green gas (LCOE = 24.0 €ct kWh−1) is more attractive for individual citizens than locally produced green hydrogen (LCOE = 43.5 €ct kWh−1). In case higher GHG emission savings are desired, both LCOEs go up. Data indicate an apparent mismatch between heat demand in winter and PV electricity generation in summer. Besides, at the current state of technology, local onshore wind turbines have less GHG emissions than PV panels. Wind turbines may therefore have advantages over PV fields despite the various concerns in society. Our study confirms that biomass availability in a dedicated region is a challenge.
