Land scarcity ∙ Emerging circular initiatives often conflict with traditional economic criteria, as land values tend to favor more profitable uses like housing or high-tech industries. This situation raises an important question: How can cities secure a lasting place for circular activities that provide social and environmental benefits but lack high financial returns? To answer it, researchers from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel investigate the spatial dynamics of the circular economy in the Brussels Capital Region by examining local hubs. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eet5bkZy 🎓 Jasmin Baumgartner, David Bassens, Niels De Temmerman

It's truly an enriching experience of being the participant at this year's IUT conference, which has been all about green economy. The dynamic discussions, diverse perspectives, and the convergence of brilliant minds have left an indelible mark on mutual understanding of the green economic landscape. The topic of my paper "The green procurement meaning, significance and main practices" presents one of the illuminated paths towards a sustainable future. As the outcomes of this conference, let us champion policies, initiatives, and practices that propel us towards a future where economic growth coexists harmoniously with a thriving planet.

Summertime. All the seasons of the year are fine for reading an enjoyable informative book, but now you have more time to reflect and regenerate yourself. Now is the right time to read or read again the Living Future Europe publications, which you can download for free from our website. Good regenerative readings, have a great Summer 🌞🌄⛵️ Enjoy 🙂📚 Rethinking Sustainability Towards a Regenerative Economy The book highlights how sustainability in buildings, facilities and urban governance is crucial for a future that is socially just, ecologically restorative, and economically viable, both for Europe and for the whole planet. In light of the search for fair solutions to the climate crisis, the authors outline the urgency for the built environment sector to implement adaptation and mitigation strategies, as well as a just transition.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on almost all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), leaving no country unaffected. It has caused a shift in political agendas, but also in lines of research. At the same time, the world is trying to make the transition to a more sustainable economic model. Happy to share one of our article entitled “Energy and water: COVID-19 impacts and implications for interconnected sustainabledevelopment goals” published in the Q1 Wiley Journal Environmental progress & Sustainable Energy received the paper of the year honour for the entire duration of 2022.   This work showed the importance of understanding pandemics and how they disrupt major SDGs such as SDG 6 (water) and SDG 7 (clean energy). Given the article remained a consistent number 1 shows how understanding these two aspects of societal development will hold key to developing the best blueprint for a sustainable, inclusive and resilient recovery tomorrow that has the capacity to withstand future pandemics.

🌍 New Article Alert! 📘 With Chedrak De Rocher Chembessi, PhD & André Torre, we explore the process of integrating the circular economy (CE) within specific territories, emphasizing the role of close relationships and resource availability. 🔍 Published in Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society 📈 Key Insights: We highlight the significance of both tangible and intangible territorial resources. We demonstrate that geographical proximity and organized collaborations are vital for successful CE projects. We reveal the importance of relational dynamics, a sense of community, and shared values in fostering commitment to CE efforts. 💡 Takeaways: The study showcases the necessity of territorializing the circular economy for sustainable development and stresses the critical role local authorities and policymakers play in facilitating CE projects. 📚 Read and Share: https://lnkd.in/eP6iJyjr #CircularEconomy #SustainableDevelopment #Territorialisation Julian Kirchherr European Chair of Excellence on Circular Economy
