The Green and Circular Economy: Dynamics and Governance

The purpose of this course is to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the dynamics and governance of the green and circular economy. It explores how circularity can be embedded into policies, business models, and urban systems to drive sustainable transformation. The course examines the interplay between governance structures, innovation, and industrial dynamics, showing how regulatory frameworks, incentive systems, and cross-sectoral collaboration shape the transition to greener and more circular practices. By drawing on real-world cases and international experiences, participants will gain insights into both successful strategies and common challenges, enabling them to design effective governance mechanisms and business approaches. Ultimately, the course equips participants with the knowledge and tools to analyze systemic challenges, develop integrated governance solutions, and lead change toward resilient, resource-efficient, and future-oriented economies.
