Ariel Araujo works at Ecologic Institute as a Researcher. His work focuses on resource efficiency, the transition towards a circular economy and urban sustainability. His native language is Spanish. He speaks fluent German and English and also has basic knowledge of Portuguese.
At Ecologic Institute, Ariel Araujo works mainly in the field of resource (efficiency) policy, particularly on the projects "Trend Analysis Resource Policy", "Identifying and Assessing Interactions between International Climate and Resource Policy" (ICARE) and "Multi-Use offshore platforms demoNstrators for boostIng cost-effecTive and Eco-friendly proDuction in sustainable marine activities" (UNITED). The "Trend Analysis Resource Policy" project identifies relevant societal trends, which could affect resource use, and analyses policy strategies and instruments that could help with tackling these trends. Ariel Araujo supports the analysis of policy strategies and instruments. At the UFOPLAN project ICARE, which analyzes the interrelation between resource and climate policy at international scale, Ariel Araujo supports the formulation of overarching political measures for resource conservation. His work is focused on the analysis of the relevance and applicability of political measures in different world regions, as well as their interactions with climate policy. The H2020 project UNITED examines the economic, social and ecological added value of combining multiple activities at the same maritime space using pilot demonstrators. Ariel Araujo supports the analysis of ecosystem services from an economic and ecological perspective.
Before arriving at Ecologic Institute, Ariel Araujo worked as an intern for the IKI-financed project "Initiative Resource Efficiency and Climate Action" at Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).
Ariel Araujo holds a Master's degree in Environmental Policy and Planning from Technische Universität Berlin and Freie Universität Berlin (Germany) his Bachelor's degree in Environmental and Resource Management from the Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg (Germany). He completed his Master's thesis within the interdisciplinary research project "RuralFutures Uruguay”, for which he conducted a field work in 17 rural schools throughout Uruguay.
