Abstract

This book is an important read for anyone interested in understanding and promoting the transition to a circular economy. Divided into three parts, it addresses pathways for social development and education for sustainability, in addition to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while also presenting construction and energy strategies within the context of the circular economy. With chapters that include case studies and perspectives from various regions, mainly Europe and Latin America, this book offers insights into educating for sustainability, tackling technological challenges, and implementing green practices. Readers will find various discussions on the role of education in promoting sustainable practices, the importance of social innovation, and the emerging business opportunities from the green transition. This book highlights the need for circular economic models that prioritise reduction, reuse, and recycling, providing valuable insights for policymakers, educators, researchers, and professionals. By incorporating this book into courses, educators can offer students an understanding of circular economy concepts, sustainable development, and ecological transformation, preparing them to face the environmental challenges of the twenty-first century with innovative and sustainable solutions.
