Programme details
This approach redefines value by prioritising ecological health, social wellbeing and resilience, as highlighted by Commissioner Roswall’s call to “put nature on the balance sheet.” Partnerships such as those between the EU and Japan demonstrate how policy alignment and cultural traditions of resource consciousness can support sustainable production and consumption. Circularity, however, goes beyond efficiency to embrace sufficiency, equity and systemic change — meeting human needs within planetary limits while reducing overproduction and ensuring inclusivity.
True global leadership lies not in exporting solutions but in connecting ideas and values across borders, creating an economy that is circular, fair, resilient and future-proof.
