We consume 70% more than what the earth can safely replenish and only 8.6% of what we use is returned to the economy. Rather than rectifying this, global circularity decreased from 9.1% in 2018 to 8.6% in 2020. Increasing levels of waste accompany the rapid acceleration of consumption, leaving a massive circularity gap of over 90%. Circularity offers the solutions we need to meet our climate goals, safeguard the Earth’s resources, and protect all people. This report proposes 21 circular strategies that will slash emissions and material use, limit warming, and facilitate an increasingly safe and just planet for humanity.
