This paper provides an overview of the relevance of the circular economy for climate change through the theory of change approach framework. Analysis of 96 articles revealed that 87% of the reviewed articles showed a strong relevance of the circular economy for climate change. However, most of the articles focused on the mitigation aspect of climate change. The circular economy is widely practised in countries such as the United Kingdom, Italy, Belgium, and China. The main theoretical contribution of this study is developing a logical framework through the theory of change approach, which is a novel method in social science research apart from monitoring and evaluation studies.
The relevance of the circular economy for climate change is still a developing area of research that needs to be explored. This paper aims to provide an overview of the relevance of the circular economy for climate change through the theory of change approach framework. For this purpose, we analysed 96 articles from the Scopus and WoS databases in the Arts and Humanities, Business, Management and Accounting, Economics, Econometrics and Finance and Social Sciences, with the keywords Circular economy and Climate Change. Our analysis shows that 87% of the reviewed articles showed a strong relevance of the circular economy for climate change. However, most of the articles focused on the mitigation aspect of climate change. The circular economy is widely practised in countries such as the United Kingdom, Italy, Belgium, and China. Our main theoretical contribution is in developing a logical framework through the theory of change, which is a novel approach in social science research apart from monitoring and evaluation studies.
