A country’s capacity to foster a circular economy model, producing more efficiently, polluting less and reusing more will be a critical determinant of lasting prosperity in the 21st Century.
Several developed economies have made well publicized progress in this regard, but far less attention has been paid to the successes and remaining policy challenges of transition economies in Central Asia, Caucasus and the Western Balkans.
Jointly organized by the UNECE and the Geneva Trade Platform, and simultaneously translated into English and Russian, this session provides a platform for representatives from some of the UNECE’s 17 programme countries to share and exchange success stories, perspectives and lessons learned. The session will also explore circular economy opportunities arising from value chains, trade and trade facilitation in transition economies
Scheduled speakers will include:
The Geneva Trade Platform thanks Sergey Popov for financial contribution to this project.
