This roadmap is designed to enable national governments to shift from a linear to a circular economic model.
It sets out a step-by-step process for countries, starting with planning and engaging stakeholders, then forming a dedicated team, identifying key stakeholders and thoroughly analyzing the country's current economic framework to find opportunities for circularity.
Drawing insights from global case studies, it offers practical solutions tailored to each developing country's unique context. It highlights the importance of collaborative efforts involving businesses, international organisations, academic institutions, financial entities and NGOs.
