Reshaping the Sustainable Circular Value Chain

Time:

 

Address:

 

As global environmental issues become increasingly severe, the circular economy is emerging as a pivotal economic model, attracting increasing global attention and significance. The theme of this sub-forum is "Reshaping the Circular Economy Value Chain," aimed at exploring how to promote the circular economy and achieve efficient resource utilization and sustainable environmental growth through innovative and technological approaches. The sub-forum will focus on the core concept of the circular economy: reduce, reuse and recycling, and will engage in in-depth discussions, particularly highlighting the prospects of applying geographic thinking and geographic analysis tools in reshaping the circular economy value chain. Through this forum, we aim to establish a collaborative platform between geography and circular economy practices, promoting the adoption and practical implementation of the circular economy to support global environmental sustainability. Let's work together to forge a green, low-carbon, and sustainable future!
