Working Paper on the contribution of circular economy to climate action

This report explores the value of Circular Economy (CE) and Sustainable Business Models (SBM) in the Mediterranean region in terms of climate change mitigation (CCM). The report endeavours to offer practical insights and strategies to businesses and policymakers, aimed at fostering the widespread adoption and implementation of CE. This involves benchmarking CCM policies, identifying key domains for SBM, evaluating high-potential CE strategies, emphasizing CE’s regenerative role, and exploring gender and class dimensions in these strategies. While the report has a global scope, it gives particular attention to Mediterranean cases.
