Circular Economy Education to Help Achieve National Climate Goals

Writing in Diplomatic Courier, UNU-IAS expert Anupam Khajuria calls for incorporating circular economy education in national climate strategies.

On 11 November 2024 Diplomatic Courier, a global affairs media network, published an article by Anupam Khajuria (Research Fellow and Academic Associate, UNU-IAS) highlighting the importance of integrating circular economy education in national climate strategies to achieve Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

This piece was published in connection with the 2024 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP29). 

Excerpt:

With the right educational frameworks in place, the circular economy can become a driving force in the global effort to reduce GHG emissions and achieve the ambitious targets of the Paris Agreement. A successful COP29 would form a commitment to circular economy education, which would include policies that integrate circularity into national curricula and foster international partnerships to expand successful programs globally.
