Circular Economy & SDGs Online Roundtable

Circular economy as the key to achieving the SDGs

The circular economy plays a key role in achieving the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By promoting a resource-efficient economy that avoids waste, recycles materials and conserves natural resources, it makes a significant contribution to the transformation towards a more sustainable and future-proof society. In a joint discussion round, the UN Global Compact Network Austria together with Circular Economy Forum Austria and representatives from business, politics and civil society would like to discuss how the transition to a circular economy can be actively shaped in order to contribute to achieving the SDGs in Austria. Challenges will be discussed and ways of cooperation between politics, business and civil society will be identified. Furthermore, the webinar series "Circular Economy" of the UN Global Compact Network Germany, which starts on 8 October 2024, will be presented.
