The first high-level meeting of the Global Alliance on Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency (GACERE) is taking place today, 14 September, at the World Circular Economy Forum.  The Alliance, a deliverable of the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan of March 2020, has the objective of advocating for the circular economy transition as a way of contributing to solving the climate, biodiversity and pollution crises, and taking less from nature. On global efforts to combat plastic pollution, the EU is advancing for a new legally binding global agreement. (Source: EC)
