Squaring the Circle: Policies from Europe\u2019s Circular Economy Transition<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 is the World Bank\u2019s first comprehensive report providing an assessment of the problem and proposing solutions to decouple growth from material consumption.<\/p>\n

The report examines the EU’s experience in furthering the circular economy agenda to elicit lessons that can benefit countries within and beyond Europe\u2019s borders, showing that achieving material decoupling is possible through a far-reaching suite of policies aimed at creating the\u00a0incentives<\/i>\u00a0to ensure an adequate pricing of natural resources; providing\u00a0information<\/i>\u00a0allowing economic actors to take better decisions; enabling\u00a0institutions\u00a0<\/i>to\u00a0<\/i>mainstream circularity as a whole-of-government agenda; and unlocking\u00a0investments<\/i>\u00a0to support uptake among producers and consumers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
