RT Journal Article T1 Politicising circular economy: what can we learn from responsible innovation? A1 Pansera , Mario A1 Genovese, Andrea A1 Ripa, Maddalena K1 53 Ciencias Económicas K1 5306.02 Innovación Tecnológica K1 5310.05 Política Económica Internacional AB The ‘Circular Economy’ has become a new buzzword in debates about sustainability. Circularity, however, is usually presented in terms of scientific and technological challenges that often neglect the socio-political aspects related to the transition towards more sustainable futures, such as participation, co-creation and social justice. We argue that the Circular Economy agenda might greatly benefit from the field of Responsible Innovation. This argument is at the centre of the EU funded project, ‘A Just Transition to Circular Economy’ (JUST2CE), which aspires to address the present shortcomings of Circular Economy literature and practices. JUST2CE aims at understanding, in a critical way, under which conditions a responsible, inclusive and socially just transition to a Circular Economy is possible and desirable, what technical, political and social factors can enable or hamper such transformation and how these aspects can contribute to the development of transitional policy measures PB Journal of Responsible Innovation SN 23299460 YR 2021 FD 2021-05-12 LK http://hdl.handle.net/11093/3126 UL http://hdl.handle.net/11093/3126 LA eng NO Journal of Responsible Innovation, 8(3): 471-477 (2021) NO European Commission | Ref.
