How decarbonization and the circular economy interact: Benefits and trade‐offs in the case of the buildings, transport, and electricity sectors in Austria Open
The widely heralded decarbonization of economies is a significant intervention in countries' societal metabolism, which eliminates the use of fossil fuels but also requires renewing societal stocks such as buildings, vehicles, and power pl…

“Biomass from somewhere?” Governing the spatial mismatch of Viennese biomass consumption and its impact on biodiversity Open
Vienna's biomass demand is large and nearly all biomass consumed in the city is produced in the regional and global hinterland. This raises the question, how the socioecological conditions at specific places somewhere in the world are impa…

Regional self-sufficiency: A multi-dimensional analysis relating agricultural production and consumption in the European Union Open
Short food supply chains and circularity are discussed as key factors for a sustainable food system. Although self-sufficiency ratios (SSR) are often used to characterize agri-food systems, the concept of SSR remains inconsistently defined…
