Considerations of justice and social equity are as important for the circular economy transition as they are in the contexts of low-carbon transitions and digitalization of the economy. This paper sets out the just transition approach, and its relevance in climate change and energy transition debates.
The importance for sustainable development is increasingly being recognized by the world, and the looking for ways to implement sustainable development has become the focus in domestic and foreign academics. As an effective means of sustainable development, circular economy has been obtained the attention of academics and government. In this study, with the system analysis of development and principle of circular economy, based on the input-output analysis tools, this paper builds an input-output analysis table and the basic evaluation model of circular economy in enterprise.
This paper is the first sector-specific quantitative study on the employment effects of the EU transition on a global scale, including ethical dimensions of those effects, as far as we are aware. Overall, this paper contributes to the broader discussion of CE-induced social effects of sustainability transitions. Its results indicate that employment could significantly decrease in low- to upper-middle-income countries outside the EU, in particular in labour-intense apparel production.

This research highlights the growing interest in Circular Supply Chain Management (CSCM) as a sustainable alternative to traditional linear models. While existing research explores supply chain sustainability, a unified definition for CSCM is lacking. This study addresses this gap by proposing a unifying definition and conducting a comprehensive review of CSCM research. The authors identify under-researched areas like design for circularity, collaboration in circular supply chains, and consumer behavior, suggesting important directions for future research
This video discusses what a circular economy is and its benefits. In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in use for longer by repairing, reusing, and recycling them. This contrasts with our current linear economy, which throws things away after use. A circular economy is better for the environment, reduces pollution, and conserves resources.
