Climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss are combining to form an urgent global challenge. However, just like the crises themselves, the solutions to them are interconnected. In this briefing paper, Circular Flanders explores how the circular economy can contribute to protecting and restoring biodiversity.

You will discover why biodiversity is essential for our economy and well-being, how our current production and consumption system puts nature under pressure, and what role circular strategies can play in reversing this trend. 

From reduced resource use and smarter design to regenerative production and new value models, this paper offers insight, inspiration and practical starting points.
