The transition to a global circular economy framework will only be possible with global guidelines and policies based on knowledge and science, through collaboration of public and private sector stakeholders from different geoeconomic regions. This session will present a white paper that suggests ways to identify the pathway for this transition and how to connect the different stakeholder dimensions: governments, academia and industry.
