Circular Economy Planning that Address the Conditions of Climatic Extremes: 2060-Global Warming; 2090-2100 New Ice Age

Abstract

Circular Economy is a new challenge, where resource-use efficiency and reduction in waste and pollution are designed to happen in a systematic manner to both production and consumption processes. If the weather patterns deviate from regular to extreme, then the challenge is even greater. Therefore, global warming and the next ice age make it important to understand that behavioral change towards Circular Economy could improve human survival rates. Five indicators will cover a discussion that covers a time period from 2060 to 2079 with global warming causing severe heat, and from 2080 to 2100 with extreme cold and next ice age. Let us assume that the human population is twelve billion in 2060 and increases to thirteen billion by 2079; from 2080 to 2100 human population increases to fifteen billion. The five indicators are: 1. Ecological Management 2. Sustainable Consumption 3. Sustainable Production 4. Energy Consumption 5. Environmental Sustainability.
