Webinar: Why countries matter in closing the global circularity gap

The role of national governments in closing the circularity gap while fulfilling citizen’s needs.

Join the conversation during the Circularity Gap Webinar for policymakers
So how is our world performing on circularity? Are we reaching our circular ambitions? In 2018 we discovered our world is only 9.1% circular and our engine is stuck in reverse. As the global population and our consumption appetite are growing, we continue to consume and waste more each year. So how do we shift back into gear and ensure that countries satisfy citizens’ societal needs while at the same time staying within the ecological limits of our planet?

What circularity approach fits your country’s reality?
Every country has a unique economic reality and is made up of a specific social fabric. The way that things are produced, traded, consumed and taken care of once they become waste varies greatly from country to country – and so does the approach to building a circular economy. The third edition of the Circularity Gap Report will focus on the individual actions countries can take to close their circularity gap and contribute to creating a circular world.
