Dear colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to a special issue on "Justice, Equity and the Circular Economy" in the journal Local Environment. This special issue aims to address the large knowledge gap in the Circular Economy (CE) literature by bringing together the work of scholars in different fields who are examining the role and space for justice and equity in the CE. The need for such a compilation emerged out of a global open virtual forum on “An Equitable, Inclusive, and Environmentally Sound Circular Economy” in May 2020, sponsored by the Systems of Sustainable Consumption and Production Knowledge Action Network (SSCP-KAN) of Future Earth, The Greening of Industry Network, International Forum on Sustainable Value Chains, SCORAI, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. An emergent theme became “What does it mean to build ethics and responsibility into an economic system—that is, what does the CE look like in practice?”
We invite you to review the attached Call for Papers, consider making a contribution and share with your networks.
We ask interested authors to submit a 250 word abstract by September 15th, 2020.
For further information, or to discuss ideas for contributions, please contact the editors of this special issue.
