According to the 2021 Circularity Gap Report, the world is now only 8.6% circular.
Since the first Circularity Gap Report in 2018, the problems of a linear economy, like greenhouse gas emissions and increasing resource extraction, persist and continue to impact the global economy.
The concept of a ‘circular economy’ can be the paradigm shift so desperately needed now.
Adding circular economy solutions to the NDC’s allows us to keep global temperature rise well below 2-degrees.
This shift will require four key actions:
- Translating global trends into national, regional, and commercial pathways
- Developing decision metrics and a measurement framework
- Facilitating peer-to-peer learning and knowledge transfer
- Building a diverse and inclusive global coalition for action
How to get started
