This research paper explores the connection between the circular economy and biodiversity, focusing on two complementary approaches: restoring ecosystems and regenerating biodiversity.
The paper examines how circular economy approaches can help reduce pressures on nature, avoid biodiversity loss, and support the restoration of ecosystems. It also considers how circularity can encourage regenerative solutions that help biodiversity recover while maintaining the ecosystem services that people and communities depend on.
The research paper highlights the potential for circular economy approaches to contribute to biodiversity protection and recovery. It provides insights into how circularity can move beyond reducing environmental impacts towards restoring and regenerating nature for long-term planetary well-being.
