A chapter in Entrepreneurship, Technological Change and Circular Economy for a Green Transition, 2024, pp 1-6 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The challenges that societies face today show the need to evolve, among other challenges, to the green transition. The evolution of the linear economy, in which societies are still, mostly, towards a circular economy, where the 5 R’ predominate—Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle—it is fundamental. Alongside this evolution, the decarbonization of the predominant production model as well as the way of life that dominates the most developed societies is also essential. It is well known that this transition will not be immediate and will not be cost-free. Therefore, it is important to understand and know more about how to proceed in this transition paying attention to technological change and knowing the advantages and risks of this process. Only in this way is it possible to change in a sustainable way and seek to minimize the losses associated with this transition. For example, knowing the characteristics of businesses models based on circular economy and aimed at the green transition, as well as knowing the necessary technological changes in this domain or the training needs associated with technological change and the green transition, are essential.
