Humanity has to learn to live within planetary boundaries. By making our economy fully circular, we create new jobs, accelerate innovation, and at the same time fight the climate and biodiversity crises. With the Green Deal, Europe is now leading the circularity transition. But we challenge others to beat us: in the race to save the future of humanity, there can only be winners. The Circularity Gap Report 2023 is a call to action for all parts of the world and a great source of inspiration for everyone who’s ready to build the economy of tomorrow.
