The basic aim of the chapter is to understand the concept of a “Circular Economy” from the context of developing economies in Asia. It explores the dimensions of a circular economy as the nexus of four key issues – Food, Energy, Water and Waste - the “FEWW Nexus”. It takes the perspectives of national and local governments to outline strategies that can be used for developing circular economy policies and action. The chapter presents the “GET Matrix” as a concrete multistakeholder policy tool, bringing together three policy patterns, the Global-Nationa- -Local pattern; the Governments-Business-Civil Society pattern; and the Governance- Education and Technology pattern.
