Abstract: 

The circular bioeconomy is an emerging economic model that emphasizes the use of renewable natural resources, transforming and managing land, food, health, and industrial systems through circular and resource-efficient utilization, with the goal of achieving sustainable well-being in harmony with nature. Circular bioeconomy is gaining prominence in academic, policy, and industry contexts, linking circular economy and bioeconomy agendas in service of sustainability. However, the development of circular bioeconomy is at risk of developing in narrow, unsustainable ways, which requires coordinated efforts from diverse stakeholders to form innovative solutions. This session touches the sustainability of global circular bioeconomy development, including the evaluation methods and environmental impact assessment. The session tries to evoke more in-depth discussions on the sustainability of circular bioeconomy.
