“…There is an increasing risk to the earth support system due to environmental problems such as pollution, resource depletion and excessive consumption (Boulding's, 1966; Agyemang et al, 2019; Patwa et al, 2021; Upadhyay et al, 2021). Widening Social expectations adding to the environmental vows are lack of employment, poor working conditions, social susceptibility, the poverty trap, inter‐ and intra‐generational equity, and widening inequalities (Chaturvedi, 2017; Harri et al, 2023; Khun, 2021). Policymakers posit CE as a major intervention to address these challenges (Brennan et al, 2015).…”

Sustainable production and consumption are the need of the hour. Adopting the Circular Economy (CE) approach fosters sustainable business practices. Cloud computing is a new way of storage and application deployment. Cloud computing enables sustainable business processes, which in turn contributes towards the effective implementation of the Circular Approach to Business Practices (CABP). The current study aims to understand the potential of cloud computing to foster circular economy practices in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). We conducted a Systematic review of 186 scholarly articles published in Web of Science (WOS), selected using the PRISMA framework. We conducted scientometric analysis on sources, authors and country level and thematic analysis to pinpoint further research areas. This was followed by a detailed literature review of the articles selected to study the concept and current practices of circular economy and an evaluation of its implementation in emerging economies. The paper proposes an integrated framework grounded in two approaches, that is, the Technology, Organization and Environment (TOE) framework and institutional isomorphism as determinants of cloud adoption and CE implementation. The proposed model explores the impact of institutional forces on the various parameters of TOE, thereby culminating in the adoption of Cloud Computing in SMEs. The study would encourage leaders and managers of SMEs to adopt cloud computing for competitive advantage and achieve a circular economy approach together. The adoption of cloud‐based applications has a great potential to foster industrial and economic progress with minimum damage to the ecosystem, furthering sustainability and achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“…We also need to recognise that there already exists a global meta-narrative of climate change, which is largely dominated by scientific knowledge and represented by institutions that legitimises these knowledge claims (McCarthy 2010;Chaturvedi 2014). Scientific knowledge in part is local knowledge that is partial and partisan in nature, however characterised by dominant value frames (Ley 2003).…”

“…This also distorts its capacity to engage with the everyday realities of the world (ibid.). Such a meta-narrative not only ignores local and indigenous knowledge systems, but also is characterised by its own limitations and contradictions in addressing existing inequalities, vulnerabilities and livelihood insecurities of marginalised natural resource dependent communities (Chaturvedi 2014). Such meta-narratives and environmental discourses are pervasive and operate at several levels and often result in the formulation of policies that fail to recognise grassroots realities (Gupta 2008).…”

Exploring the role of knowledge circulation in everyday life could provide interesting insights on how different forms of knowledge shapes the lifeworld and subjective realities of people. In the context of everyday livelihood struggles of a coastal fishing community, this paper examines the nature of knowledge circulation at the local level and its micropolitics in wider social arenas. Exploring the nature of local knowledge systems prevalent among small-scale fishworkers, this paper further examines the politics of knowledge, when it circulates from the local social worlds to their solidarity networks. This paper is based on a qualitative study conducted in a coastal fishing village at Munambam situated along the Cochin Estuary in Kerala, India. The study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase of the study, data was collected through in-depth interviews by using a semi-structured interview schedule. In the second phase, a content analysis of media reports was carried out with an aim to analyse the discourses prevalent among diverse solidarity networks of fishworkers. The findings of this paper show that local knowledge is situated and intersectional. Further, the everyday lives of fishworkers are shaped by different knowledge claims that also signify their everyday struggles to access basic livelihood resources. It is amidst these diverse knowledge claims that one needs to critically examine the narratives of modernisation, climate change and the role of solidarity networks among fishworkers.
