“Circular economy as an opportunity to address climate
change” Circular economy coalition
Coleads:
Title:
Circular economy as an opportunity to address climate change!
Pitch:
Circular economy will provide essential support to climate friendly strategies by
minimizing materials, water and energy consumption, GHG emissions and ensuring
that these resources are continually cycling through the economy. In practice,
circular economy will contribute to reduce the need of extracting virgin resources, to
develop short cycles and cascading inside value chains, as well as to create a
positive dynamic involving all participants of the value chain or/and of a territory,
generating new business and job opportunities.
A successful implementation of circular economy implies contribution from all
stakeholders active in the chain (e.g. product designers, resource extractors,
producers, distributors, consumers, collectors of end-of-life products and used water,
recyclers, etc) and of all actors that can have a direct influence or be directly
impacted by the circular economy strategy (e.g. residents in the concerned area,
local authorities in charge of proper implementation, academic establishments,
financial institutions, etc.). Therefore, non-state actors must be largely involved in the
process and share the governance of circular economy strategies development and
implementation, in order to contribute to the co-creation of eco-innovative actions
based on synergy and complementarity.
