CIRCULAR ECONOMY – GOVERNANCE & SCALE Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean in conversation about Circular Transition

With the EU Green Deal, the circular economy has become a top priority for the climate-neutral, resource-efficient and competitive European economy. The EU Circular Economy Action Plan recognizes that while Europe intends to lead the process of circular transition, it cannot achieve the transformative change by acting alone. A truly global effort and outreach is needed.
LAC is a natural partner in the transformative global change. The region is focused on the implementation on the 2030 Agenda with special emphasis on the sustainable consumption and production (SDG 12) through the promotion of innovation, sustainable infrastructure and an inclusive and circular economy.
While a wide and diverse network of communication and collaborations already exists between Europe and LAC in the area of circular economy, a more systemic bi-regional dialogue is still being built.
Circular economy features as one of the main priorities of the Slovenian EU Presidency. The idea is to continue the discussion between Europe and LAC and focus the exchange of ideas and solutions on the issue of governance of the circular transformative processes.
Through continuous and dynamic public-private sector dialogue, the circular transition could help strengthen existing and open up entirely new chains of added value in international trade.
The event offers a platform for business leaders from selected sectors to share their experience and expertise as well as engage in the dialogue about openings for new circular partnerships. The discussions are guided towards exploring potential leads for new business opportunities.
