Course Overview

This Course in Circular Economy, Green Growth and Resource Efficiency equips senior executives, policymakers, sustainability professionals, and organizational leaders with the strategic knowledge and practical tools required to integrate circular economy principles into business strategy, operations, supply chains, investment decisions, and organizational transformation. The transition from a traditional "take–make–dispose" economic model to a circular economy has become a strategic priority for governments, businesses, and development institutions seeking sustainable economic growth, environmental protection, and long-term competitiveness. Growing resource scarcity, climate change, increasing waste generation, supply chain disruptions, and stricter environmental regulations are compelling organizations to rethink how products are designed, resources are utilized, waste is managed, and value is created. The course explores how organizations can maximize resource productivity, minimize waste, promote sustainable production and consumption, develop innovative green business models, and support the transition towards a low-carbon, resource-efficient, and regenerative economy. Participants will examine international best practices in circular economy implementation, green growth strategies, eco-design, industrial symbiosis, sustainable procurement, waste valorization, resource optimization, and sustainable value chain management. The programme aligns with internationally recognized frameworks including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the European Union Circular Economy Action Plan, ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems, ISO 20400 Sustainable Procurement, ISO 59000 Circular Economy Standards, and other global sustainability and resource efficiency frameworks.
