Publisher's Synopsis
The circular economy is a model of production and consumption that is underpinned by a transition to renewable energy and materials. It is a resilient system that is good for business, people and the environment. The Circular Economy and Green Jobs in the EU and Beyond examines what the circular economy means, why the transition from a linear economy to a circular one is important, and how we can achieve it. The book offers clarification on the meaning and the implications of the circular economy across different contexts - economic, social, cultural, legal and international.
