| | | | Dear Sir or Madam, | |
| |
| | 
Recently, Nobel Prize winner in economics Prof. Jean Tirole was our guest for a public lecture entitled, “Fighting the War Against Climate Change,” kindly made possible by Prof. Ralph Ossa, Director of the Kühne Center for Sustainable Trade and Logistics in Zurich. In Tirole's view, we urgently need carbon pricing, preferably globally. This would create incentives for climate-friendly decisions for both companies and consumers. Whether you agree or disagree, don’t miss our review.
The lecture is to be the first in an annual series called “Learning from the Very Best,” initiated by KLU President Thomas Strothotte.
Fighting against climate change demands a holistic approach, both in politics and in business. This is where my research is in line with Tirole’s. We need mechanisms motivating actors along the supply chain to make the best choice for the supply chain at large, e. g. for sustainability goals rather than for their own company. Using mathematical modeling, I focus on supply chain optimization, mostly for high-tech manufacturing. Is your company looking for research cooperation in this field? Get in touch with me.
Further sustainability topics include: a study on the decarbonization of freight transport, a sustainable logistics podcast (in German), and the relevance of continuing education in sustainable management.
Hope to see you soon on campus at our next public events – until then, an inspiring read!
Yours,
Prof. Dr. Mirjam Meijer
Assistant Professor of Operations Management
