Circular Economy: A circular economy emphasizes reducing waste and making the most of resources. It focuses on reusing, recycling, and designing products for longer lifespans. This minimizes environmental impact while supporting sustainable development.

Examples of circular economy:

The Danish deposit and return system for recycling drink cans and bottles
Shenzhen's shift to electric mobility

How can circular economy address climate change?

By ensuring circular economy approaches are embedded into these pledges, countries can accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy, protect the natural environment, and create green, decent, and dignified jobs as well.

How can we build a circular economy?

Using fewer resources, using resources for longer, recycling resources and regenerating resources.
