Implementing the Circular Economy for Sustainable Development
presents the concept of the circular economy with the goal of
understanding its present status and how to better implement it,
particularly through environmental policies. It first tackles the
definition of a circular economy in the context of sustainability
and the differences in defining the concept across disciplines,
including its fallibilities and practical examples. It then goes on
to discuss the implementation of a circular economy, including the
increasing variety of technological, mechanical, and chemical
procedures to contend with and the need for stakeholder support in
addition to improved business models. The second half of the book,
therefore, presents tools, approaches, and practical examples of
how to shape environmental policy to successfully implement a
circular economy. It analyzes deficiencies of current regulations
and lays the groundwork for the design of integrated environmental
policies for a circular economy. Authored by an expert in
environmental economics with decades of experience, Implementing
the Circular Economy for Sustainable Development is a timely,
practical guide for sustainability researchers and policymakers
alike to move more efficiently toward a circular economy and
sustainable development.
This text provides an analysis and investigation of the most
essential areas of environmental theory and policy, including
international environmental problems. The approach is based on
standard theoretical tools, in particular equilibrium analysis, and
aims to demonstrate how economic principles can help to understand
environmental issues and guide policymakers. Current topics
including climate change, overfishing and integrated approaches to
environmental policies are carefully analyzed in this framework,
and a multitude of practical examples from various parts of the
world is presented.

Das Lehrbuch bietet eine moderne, breitgef cherte Einf hrung in
die Schwerpunkte der Volkswirtschaftslehre auf dem aktuellen Stand
der Wissenschaft: Mikro- und Industrie konomik, politische und
Institutionen konomie, Geld und Makro konomik, Au enwirtschaft,
Wachstum und Innovation. Durch die Zusammenarbeit der Autorengruppe
ist ein konzeptionell einheitliches Buch entstanden, das
Studierende des 1. Semesters bestens mit den Grundlagen des
Fachgebiets VWL vertraut macht. Die modulare Struktur des Buches
unterst tzt den Lernprozess und erleichtert auch das
Selbststudium.
Dieses Lehrbuch richtet sich besonders an Studenten der
Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Sein Titel Umweltokonomie. Theorie und
Praxis im Gleichgewicht verdeutlicht die Relevanz der
gleichgewichtstheoretischen Analyse fur die behandelten
Problemstellungen aus Theorie und Praxis. Die Grundlagen und
Aussagen der Gleichgewichtstheorie werden anhand von Beispielen
eingefuhrt. Der Verweis auf die umweltpolitische "Praxis" im Titel
signalisiert auch einen "gleichgewichtigen" Umgang mit wichtigen
Anliegen der Praxis. Gezeigt wird, wie der
gleichgewichtstheoretische Ansatz fur praktische Probleme von
Nutzen sein kann. Gleichgewichtstheorie ist insofern praktischer
als mancher gut gemeinte Vorschlag aus der Praxis. In den vier
Teilen des Buches werden auch aktuelle Umweltthemen wie
Verpackungsordnung, Okosteuer und Kyoto-Protokoll behandelt."
