Research interest
My research and teaching as聽Professor of sustainability research at 黑料网大事记 Sydney is based on a long-standing experience in integrated sustainability assessment and environmental footprint analysis. My main research question is how to achieve concurrent human and planetary well-being. I develop and apply environmental input-output analysis as part of a holistic concept to life cycle assessment, industrial ecology and sustainable consumption and production research. Recent research interests are related to systems change towards post-growth economies. I lead a national e-research infrastructure project and coordinate a number of research projects related to sustainability.
