India’s commitment to reach net zero by 2070 and meet 50% of its cumulative installed capacity from non-fossil fuel energy resources is a significant milestone in its fight against climate change.
Bengaluru, 16 April 2024: The Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP), a research-based think tank, in collaboration with the International Council for Circular Economy (ICCE), published a White Paper titled ‘Growing the circular bioeconomy, with a focus on the Global South’ and presented the findings at the World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF) 2024, held at Brussels, Belgium.
In this two-part blog series, the authors share some of their research learning on circular economy (CE) and revisit their experiences from the recently concluded World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF) 2024.
The first blog delved into the principles and relevance of circular economy (CE) in reducing the overconsumption of finite resources.
