Title: Circular Economy Modelling for Climate Change Mitigation – Updates from the Horizon Europe CIRCOMOD project
Moderator: Patrícia Fortes (NOVA University, Lisboa)
Abstract: While we realise that circular economy offers promising reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, we have no good understanding of its impact, magnitude, synergetic and rebound effects. The current scenarios models and scenarios do not include circular economy options. CIRCOMOD develops a new generation of models that will address this gap. During this session, we report and discuss the results of 2.5 years of work in the CIRCOMOD project, focussing on model framework, demand-side solutions, supply side measures, and economy-wide modelling.
