Complexity Analysis for the European Green Deal

Raphael played a pivotal role as a Circular Economy Specialist in the EU Green Deal Complexity Analysis, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at modeling the transition to a fair and sustainable Europe within the framework of the European Green Deal. This initiative was conducted as part of the Shared Green Deal Arena Series, hosted by the esteemed Dutch Research Institute for Transition (DRIFT) and generously funded by the European Union. In collaboration with over 100 distinguished participants, they utilized an X-Curve analysis model to delve into the intricacies of transitioning towards a fair and sustainable Europe. The discussions revolved around six strategic priorities integral to achieving the climate action and zero pollution objectives of the EU Green Deal, encompassing Clean Energy, Circular Economy, Efficient Renovations, Sustainable Mobility, Sustainable Food, Preserving Biodiversity, Climate Action, and Zero Pollution. Raphael's contributions extended beyond discourse, as he actively participated in mapping future scenarios and crafting comprehensive transition pathways specifically tailored to implement a European Circular Industrial Economy. Employing a back-casting approach, he played a crucial role in constructing timelines for implementation strategies while meticulously analyzing potential trade-offs and co-benefits among the various priorities of the EU Green Deal. One of the highlights of Raphael's involvement was the intricate analysis of feedback loops between energy and food production and consumption systems, within the overarching principles of the circular economy and circular value creation. Through his expertise and dedication, Raphael significantly enriched the dialogue surrounding the EU Green Deal, paving the way for informed decision-making and impactful policy interventions towards a more sustainable future.
