Are you interested in addressing the limitations to Circular Economy to be able to provide better thought out circular solutions? Join the group of experts from Norway and UK for the online interactive debate on selected critical perspectives relating to the circular economy to allow to better conceive, and implement, CE solutions. Some critiques claim that the circular economy focuses too much on what is wrong with business-as-usual activities, without providing practical solutions; others that the social element is not addressed sufficiently and that we not only need a global transition, but also one that is just, etc.
In this year’s edition we explore some of critical perspectives with Cynthia Reynolds (Circular Economy Coalition leader & Founder of Circular Regions), Rannveig Edda Hjaltadóttir (Nord University) and Anne Velenturf (University of Leeds, UK), and try to understand how to take the potential limitations into account to find a better way forward, also looking into the potentials of #circulardarkhorses and putting circular economy for oil and gas in an energy transitions perspective, as well as sharing the Circularity4All hierarchy to communicate the priorities.
