Abstract

The transition to a circular economy is a critical challenge for Asia, due to its dependence on fossil fuels, inefficient waste management systems and limited environmental awareness. The CEBCAT (Building Capacities for a Transition to a Circular Economy) program addresses these issues by promoting sustainability through postgraduate studies, innovation and international cooperation. By creating educational materials and strengthening Europe-Asia cooperation, the program seeks to empower practitioners and academic institutions, contributing to sustainable development in Asian countries by aligning its actions with the European Green Deal.
