NEW IUCN report on links between biodiversity and the circular economy

IUCN Europe has issued a new report examining the links and policy gaps between biodiversity and circular economy concepts.
22/03/2023

Specifically, it focuses on EU policies related to the food, water and nutrients value chain, which is a key driver of land use change and biodiversity loss, and was highlighted in the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan as a sector with high resource use and potential for circularity.

The report acknowledges the strong potential of the circular economy to achieve environmental targets, but also reflects that some theories or practices associated with the circular economy need to be carefully considered to ensure they do not pose a risk to biodiversity.
