Exploring circular economy transition pathways: a roadmap analysis of 15 Canadian local governments
分析了15个加拿大地方政府在制定循环经济路线图时，物理、社会经济和制度因素如何影响其内容与差异，发现地方特征和制度背景共同塑造转型路径。
Abstract This paper explores how 15 Canadian local governments of various sizes and contexts are transitioning to a circular economy by analysing their roadmap currently in development. It provides qualitative insights into how physical, socioeconomic and institutional factors are influencing the content of roadmaps, along with their similarities and differences. Drawing from the literature on the geography of transitions, we show that while local physical and socioeconomic attributes typically shape the roadmaps by determining likely activities, their actual trajectory varies based on the roadmap instigators and the broader institutional contexts in which they operate. The findings suggest the importance of local governments supporting the roadmap instigators while also recognising that circular economy transition pathways can capitalise on policies and programs not only locally but beyond local boundaries.
