Project description
UNICA aims to explore the socioeconomic and environmental implications of a circularity transition in Latin America (LATAM) and its effects on both LATAM and the EU.
UNICA contributes to the understanding of circularity transitions in the Global South and its links to the EU. Furthermore, the projects enables the collaboration between academic and non-academic institutions, contributing to the science-policy interphase.
In this project, CML provides support as a host institute in the EU, and collaboration between EU and LATAM partners
