The Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Alicia Bárcena, affirmed today that promoting greater incorporation of the circular economy will enable the region to move towards a more sustainable, inclusive and low-carbon development pattern, during a virtual seminar organized by ECLAC, the Presidency of COP25 and Euroclima+.
“The circular economy, by minimizing the input of new materials and energy, reduces environmental pressure, the emission of pollutants, especially greenhouse gases, and reduces imports and enables savings in foreign exchange,” ECLAC’s highest authority sustained.
She added that in the circular economy, residual products are not seen as waste but instead as resources, which is important if one takes into account that in order to achieve sustainable economic development throughout the world by 2050, the use of materials in industrialized countries must be cut by 90%.
