Introduction
The current linear economy has resulted in enormous amount of waste in our ocean and land in addition to continuous increase of greenhouse gas emissions.
Transitioning to a circular economy (CE) will significantly lower carbon emissions, reduce/eliminate pollution caused by production and consumption, build sustainable supply chains, and create jobs for communities, overcome social inequality, and accelerate achieving the SDGs.
This course introduces a circular economy focusing on life cycle thinking; global policy; technology & business model innovation; and business opportunities & inclusive development. It guides learners to understand the key drivers for accelerating the CE transition including policy intervention; design, technology & business model innovation; financing mechanism, consumer behavior change, and ecosystem building for entrepreneurship.
