#15CSCP #CircularTuesdays
The transition to a circular economy is a systemic shift towards conducting economic activity in ways that lead to growth, resilience, and social equity while at the same using resources in new and innovative ways to close the loop.
A circular economy is functional only insofar as it works for everyone – in line with the German Circularity Act, the European Circular Economy Action Plan part of the EU Green Deal, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We are launching the #CircularTuesday articles series on LinkedIn starting 10 November for 6 weeks to feature some of our highlights on circularity tackling consumer behaviour, circular business models, circularity at the city level, and more.
We look forward to engaging with you in creating a circular world!

Two thirds of today’s world trade is based on global value chains and supply networks. The effects of these globalised structures are manifold: on one hand, there is more employment and prosperity; on the other hand, extreme social, ecological and economic imbalances exist along the supply chains. This discussion paper describes as a future scenario globally cooperative and cycle-oriented regional economies that fundamentally reduce worldwide inequalities in opportunities for improving the quality of life while at the same time preserving the natural foundations of life in the long term. Four starting points are discussed for this purpose: orientation towards a model of transformative cooperation networks, mandatory alignment of supply chains towards sustainability, supply chain resilience through cooperation and digitalisation, and sustainable public procurement.
Call for Collaboration
The most vulnerable, and therefore the hardest hit by the Corona pandemic are developing countries. There, due to high levels of informality, lack of infrastructure, and poorer living conditions, the effects of the pandemic are felt way more severely. We must, therefore, enhance our international collaboration to support these countries not only in overcoming the present crisis, but also in strengthening their resilience for the future.
