Environment Program has launched a regional coalition that aims to support the transition towards a circular economy in and the Caribbean (LAC). Sustainable Brands comments that as the region continues to grapple with the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the transition to the circular economy offers new and improved growth opportunities to build a resilient, low-carbon economic recovery. The Coalition will support access to finance by governments and the private sector, with special emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in order to promote the mobilization of resources for innovation and the implementation of specific projects in the region. The need to move away from the conventional linear economy of “take, make, waste” was already evident in the region even before the pandemic: many countries still lack recycling infrastructure. Circular economy in is advancing rapidly LAC now has the opportunity to build a new wave of development and prosperity based on circular principles, benefiting society, business and the environment, and addressing the root causes of global challenges, such as biodiversity loss. , pollution and climate change.
A circular economy transition Led by UNEP, the Regional Circular Economy Coalition will create a common vision for a circular economy transition in LAC, and provide Phone Number List a platform for cross-sector collaboration and knowledge sharing to accelerate implementation. The creation of this coalition reaffirms the region's commitment to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, with special emphasis on SDG 12: Sustainable Consumption and Production, through the promotion of innovation, sustainable infrastructure and an inclusive and circular economy . Recognizing that unsustainable consumption and production patterns are the fundamental cause of the three planetary crises we face today: climate change, pollution and the loss of biodiversity. We have a unique opportunity to rethink our linear economy and reshape our unsustainable consumption and production patterns. Leo , Regional Director of UNEP in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Coalition has the support of strategic partners: The Ellen MacArthur Foundation . The Climate Technology Center and Network.
The Inter-American Development Bank. The Konrad Adenauer Foundation. The Platform to Accelerate the Circular Economy (PACE). The United Nations Industrial Development Organization . The World Economic Forum. It will be led by a steering committee composed of four high-level government representatives on a rotating basis — starting with Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru and the Dominican Republic — for the period 2021-2022. As extracting, wasting and 'business as usual' can no longer be supported by the planet, it is key to build a common regional vision on the circular economy. The Coalition will help do just that and implement concrete, measurable practices. Carlos Correa, Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development of Colombia and President of the Coalition. While many of the current climate debates focus on the shift to renewable energy and energy efficiency issues, which will address 55% of total GHG emissions; A circular economy can help address the remaining 45%, which is generated by the way we make and use products and the way we produce food, according to a 2019 CEM report. The Coalition aims to help the region implement circular strategies through collaboration between governments, companies and society as a whole.
