La Economía Circular: ¿un mito o una posibilidad?
En el contexto actual de emergencia climática y escasez de recursos es necesario empezar a replantear que papel es el que ejerce la economía. Hasta el momento, el desarrollo económico ha estado basado en un crecimiento continuo basado en el uso de recursos naturales sin tener en cuenta las consecuencias derivadas de su uso ineficientes, y los impactos ambientales que generan en el medio ambiente. Frente a esta situación, desde hace unos años se ha intensificado el debate sobre cómo debería ser la economía para permitir un desarrollo más sustentable. Uno de los conceptos que ha ganado fuerza es el de la Economía Circular, que sirviéndose de la investigación desarrollada desde finales de 1970’s se inspira para plantear productos, y sistemas industriales y urbanos más respetuosos con el medio ambiente. La economía circular, pues, no es un concepto del todo nuevo. Representa una nueva forma de entender y analizar sistemas actuales, y de promover sistemas y productos más respetuosos con el medio ambiente. En este curso aprenderás lo fundamentos de la economía circular, las cifras actuales que demuestran la necesidad de avanzar hacia sistemas y productos circulares, y sobre todo las herramientas básicas para poder analizar los sistemas socioeconómicos actuales. La estructura del curso contempla 5 sesiones, cada uno requiere una dedicación de unas 4 horas de estudio y práctica. La primera sesión explica las distintas escuelas de pensamiento que han servido para desarrollar el concepto de la Economía Circular. Durant la segunda sesión, os mostraré cuales son los compromisos políticos y los planes de acción en EC en Europa que se están implementando para mejorar ambientalmente la economía actual. Las tres sesiones siguientes describen los fundamentos básicos para analizar un sistema y producto desde un punto de vista físico. Después de hacer una introducción sobre los principios de termodinámica, y de conservación de la materia, aprenderás como se usan para el análisis de sistemas. También hablaremos sobre el ecodiseño o diseño para el medio ambiente, y finalmente de cómo algunas de estas herramientas se aplican conjuntamente. El curso está orientado a profesionales en medio ambiente y gestión de empresas, también universitarios de pregrado y estudiantes de posgrado y tecnólogos.
