Circular and Ecological Economy (CEE) to Achieve UN SDGs and Carbon Neutral Society
摘要
The overuse of non-renewable energy sources and expanding global industrialization have resulted in massive emissions of greenhouse gases, which have increased global temperatures and caused a number of environmental degradation problems. With the primary objective of creating a closed-loop system, the “circular economy” has lately gained favor as an economic model that tries to decouple economic growth from resource consumption and waste generation. The “ecological economy” emphasizes the interdependence between economic activities and natural ecosystems. The “Circular and Ecological Economy” (CEE) concepts significantly reduce emissions by promoting efficient use of resources and emphasizing protecting and restoring natural ecosystems. This paper will discuss about the features and potential benefitsof Circular and Ecological Economy. Furthermore, this paper willdiscuss the concept of Circular and Ecological Economy with a vision to achieve the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals and a step ahead toward a carbon-neutral society.
