Description:
This paper provides an analysis of recent literature about the economic impact of linear to circular (L2C) transition. The review investigates the economic implications (i.e. cost-benefit) of deployment of enabling technologies, tools and methodologies within the circular water system. Nature-based Solutions and its economic and policy implications is discussed in this paper as the vehicle for the L2C transition. A framework is proposed for the monetary assessment of the costs of investment in NbS technologies, infrastructure and education against the environmental and socio-economic benefits within the policy frameworks.
