The world is facing significant challenges, including climate disruption, environmental changes, pollution, and population explosion. Sustainable management of finite natural resources within the carrying capacity of the bio-geo-hydrosphere is the crux of transforming the global economy for a sustainable future. Moreover, keeping raw materials in circulation as long as possible and minimizing the amount of waste generated has grown in significance as a part of transitioning to a circular economy (CE) model.
- Introduces innovative solutions in green energy transition
- Provides case studies as examples of a circular economy implementation in selected sectors of the economy, including water and wastewater, raw materials, and construction
- Suggests actions to counteract climate change and its consequences for people and the planet
Students, researchers, and practitioners in the Environmental and Earth sciences Students, researchers, and practitioners across disciplines including energy industry, agriculture, forestry, and food science
