Resilient and Regenerative Entrepreneurship: Navigating Climate Challenges and the Circular Economy

Introduction
Climate action and the transition to circular economies are defining challenges of our era. Entrepreneurship must evolve beyond economic growth to drive ecological renewal, social inclusion, and long‑term resilience. Circular economy models—slow, close, narrow, and regenerate resource loops—redefine production and consumption. This Special Issue explores how entrepreneurs and ecosystems navigate climate change and circular transitions, focusing on opportunity recognition, decision‑making, resilience, resource mobilisation, and scaling across diverse contexts.
