This book highlights world perspectives on critical aspects impacting the circular economy and the Just Transition. In doing so, it provides recommendations based on the seven pillars of the circular economy which involve: design for durability and longevity, reduce, reuse and recycle, refurbishment and remanufacturing, recovery and regeneration, product as a service, sustainable supply chains, and digital technologies and data.The edited collection is clearly divided into topics and regions relative to these core elements of the circular economy and the Just Transition. Topics discussed include: Sustainable Fashion with a focus on Asia; Gender Issues in Africa; Critical Minerals with a focus on South America; Nuclear Energy Development in Europe; Renewable energy initiatives in the EU and North Africa; Urban regeneration- Challenges and Solutions for cities in the EU and South America; and the perspectives of Early Career Researchers to the study of Energy Justice.The book provides a global approach to these issues which are at the core of the just transition to a circular economy. These issues are the impetus of what can drive a just transition to a circular economy in this time of global crisis.
