NEXTGEN: A serious game showcasing circular economy in the urban water cycle

Mehdi Khoury et al.

Summary: Understanding the circular economy for water is challenging due to the complexity of the urban water cycle and its interrelations with other factors. To address this challenge, the NextGen Serious Game was developed as an online educational tool to explore the implications of circular economy strategies in different virtual catchments. The game has been successfully used in classrooms, debate facilitation, and even as a competitive tournament for water professionals, contributing to public understanding of water issues.

System dynamic analysis of urban household food-energy-water nexus in Melbourne (Australia)

Shupan Du et al.

Summary: This study establishes a household food-energy-water nexus model based on system dynamics and analyzes the effects of different regulation measures on resource consumption. The results indicate that residents' behavior adjustments have the most significant impact on reducing resource consumption, while replacing appliances and adjusting prices have weaker effects.

An Integrated Assessment Framework for Transition to Water Circularity

Nof Afghani et al.

Summary: Changing the unsustainable linear water management pattern is crucial in facing the global water challenges. This article presents an integrated framework that examines the role of various contextual conditions in transitioning towards water circularity. The framework combines a systematic multi-level perspective and institutional work theory for technology legitimization. It consists of four stages: understanding the water context, assessing the circularity level of selected technologies, evaluating the legitimacy of alternative circular technologies, and identifying legitimation actions to support their scale-up.

Sewer Mining as a Distributed Intervention for Water-Energy-Materials in the Circular Economy Suitable for Dense Urban Environments: A Real World Demonstration in the City of Athens

Argyro Plevri et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on demonstrating sewer mining (SM) technology as a source of treated wastewater for improving urban circularity, showcasing its flexibility and scalability in the Athens Plant Nursery in Greece. The SM technology not only enables the reuse of treated wastewater in dense urban environments, but also produces high quality reclaimed water for irrigation.

Promoting circular economy transition: A study about perceptions and awareness by different stakeholders groups

Sven Kevin van Langen et al.

Summary: Interest in Circular Economy (CE) has recently emerged in response to environmental challenges and the limitations of a linear economy. Researchers, Economists, and Administrators have varying perceptions and levels of awareness about the concept, but they all share a common vision of CE as a model for reducing waste and redesigning the economy and society. Researchers advocate for a holistic top-down approach, while Economists and Administrators prefer a bottom-up approach guided by civil society. These different perspectives complement each other, highlighting the importance of a mixed set of instruments and key actors for a successful transition to CE.

System dynamics modelling to explore the impacts of policies on the water-energy-food-land-climate nexus in Latvia

Janez Susnik et al.

Summary: The water-energy-food (WEF) nexus, increasingly recognized in academia and policy, is a complex system operating at many scales. This paper presents a national-scale WEFLC nexus system dynamics modelling assessment for Latvia, highlighting the importance of stakeholder engagement and considerations of policy objectives when choosing which policies to implement.
