MANAGEMENT & POLICY 💼

In Europe:

According to The Circularity Gap Report 2020, presented by Circle Economy at the Davos Forum in Switzerland, the world economy today is only 8.6% circular (compared to 9.1% in the report published in 2018).

In Spain:

The Spanish Government has officially declared a climate emergency in Spain, in order to deal more forcefully with the serious impacts of climate change. The decision entails a commitment to adopt 30 priority lines of action. In addition, it will oblige cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants to have a low emission zone and will study, among other measures, a “green taxation” that includes “new tax figures that discourage harmful behaviour” for the environment. 📺
Spain will create a national strategy for garbage fishing in response to the avalanche of waste reaching the sea.
