There is growing global recognition of the importance of resource efficiency strategies as a contribution to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The UN International Resource Panel (IRP) has recently published the report "Resource Efficiency and Climate Change: Material Efficiency Strategies for a Low Carbon Future" which assesses the contribution of material use efficiencies as strategies to reduce GHG emissions. Within this framework, the circular economy appears as one of the strategies being implemented by both governmental and private organizations to design and redesign systems to improve efficiency, reduce pollution and regenerate natural systems. This webinar is in collaboration with the Office for Latin America and the Caribbean of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). It will present the main results and strategies promoted by the International Resource Panel - UNEP - in the publication of its latest report, and the experience of Colombia in the implementation of the National Circular Economy Strategy. The webinar will be in Spanish language. If you have any doubts or questions, please write to the LEDS LAC Platform at the following email address info@ledslac.org.About the panelists
