2020 saw unprecedented responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The immediacy of the crisis, the severity of the consequences, and the non-uniform impacts captured the attention of governments, industry and society alike. Action was stimulated. A narrative of 鈥榖uilding back better鈥� framed responses.

The academic community has an important role to play in helping to design interventions that have a synergistic effect on climate change and circular economy (or, at best, a benign effect) and to avoid interventions that have an antagonistic effect. There has never been a more important time to consider explicitly how circular economy and climate change are related, and how we can design interventions to address both simultaneously.
