How the Circular Economy Can Revive the Sustainable Development Goals
With progress on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) seriously off track, international policymakers are scrambling for solutions that can both revitalize the current SDG agenda and drive more effective action on humanity’s big challenges in the future. In this
Chatham House paper, Patrick Schröder and Jack Barrie note that the ‘circular economy’ offers clear potential. They identify five priorities for action: embedding principles of justice and inclusivity into the circular transition; increasing international policy coordination; reforming the financial architecture to ensure the circular economy gets the investment it needs; rewiring the global system of trade to make it easier to trade circular products and services; and developing common standards and metrics. Doing these things could help to foster resilient economies, reduce environmental impacts and ensure equitable resource distribution.
