Team: Jelmer Hoogzaad

Jelmer is a climate change mitigation and circular economy expert. He supports organisations with identifying and implementing circular GHG mitigation opportunities. His systems’ or metabolic analysis places a company or jurisdiction in a broader system of material flows. Subsequent data visualisations support the development of a joint vision of a circular, low-carbon future, while an open dialogue between decision-makers allows them to define their own role in accelerating its realisation. This apporach goes beyond the search for readymade solutions for sub-problems or even symptoms, and enables deep cuts in the emissions of greenhouse gasses, waste disposal and excessive extraction of finite resources.

Jelmer speaks Russian and has worked and lived for longer periods of time in Finland, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
