Circular Economy as a Mechanism of Resilience Against COVID-19

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the entire global dynamic, causing numerous rapid adaptation processes by companies to survive. The positive impact caused by quarantine via reducing NO2 contamination is examined in this chapter. Perhaps, once countries resume their usual activities, atmospheric NO2 concentrations will rise again. Plans made in Europe are written as the European Green Deal. The Donut Economics approach is also described. Finally, initiatives being developed in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are presented. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
