Description
The aim of this online conference was to provide participants with a thorough analysis of the role of circular economy as a key lever in bridging the gap between current polices and the 1.5°C climate target.
Emphasis was placed on the latest policy and legislative developments under the Circular Economy Action Plan which aim at reducing carbon footprint and enhancing resource-efficient strategies. All action areas of the circular economy (production, consumption, waste management) were examined through the lens of climate neutrality, while practical experiences from the key product value-chains (textiles, batteries, cities, electronics, plastics, construction) enriched the legal debate.
