| Abstract |
Soil and land are critical common pool resources offering a multitude of ecosystem services (ES) and presently affected by degradation and unplanned exploitation. The present article therefore attempts to elucidate the importance of circular economy in boosting land restoration and realization of several sustainable development goals through efficient waste recycling and clean energy production from degraded lands combined with policy restructuring for aligning circularity with restoration. Integrative policy frameworks targeting a "sustainable restoration economy" can help improve the cost feasibility of restoration projects through circularization of resource value chains besides enhancing social welfare and ecological vitality. |
