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 focuses on science education and seeks to cultivate scientific literacy and empower practitioners and academic institutions, contributing to sustainable development in Asian countries by aligning its actions with the European Green Deal.
