This publication clarifies the conceptual understanding of a circular economy from both the policy and the monitoring perspectives. The starting point is a short "headline definition" which highlights the interrelated features of all circular economy definitions: maintaining the value of materials in the economy for as long as possible whilst ensuring a positive outcome to society, and preserving natural capital (natural resources, environmental quality) and human health. The conceptual framework has four main components (material life cycle and value chain, interactions with the environment, socio-economic opportunities, and responses and actions). It is complemented with an initial set of indicators for monitoring progress towards a circular economy and a monitoring framework which discusses important measurement considerations, in particular the use of the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) for measuring circular economy. The document also includes examples of measurement frameworks used by countries and other regional and national case examples on measuring the circular economy.

A sustainable and circular bioeconomy presents opportunities to improve climate change adaptation and resilience by promoting ecosystem restoration, nutrient and water retention in soils, supporting Indigenous People and local livelihoods based on biological products and services as well as building the conditions for more sustainably managed forests and fisheries. A transition to a sustainable and circular bioeconomy involves challenges and risks as well as benefits and opportunities. The potential trade-offs must be carefully considered and mitigating measures put in place to offset the negatives. Policy actions, partnerships and innovations are key tools to support a transition. While a transition to a sustainable and circular bioeconomy is a global goal, local production and consumption are key economic conditions to consider in achieving it. Local economies, green job opportunities and consumer interests should be supported and benefit from a transition. Forest-based materials are used for a wide variety of products in a circular bioeconomy and innovation continues to refine existing and develop new applications. The considerations addressed in this study include the growing demand for renewable forest-based raw materials and energy as well as the drive for a reduction in global reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, there are considerations for climate change, pollution, and waste, as well as the phasing out of single-use and fossil-plastics, that create opportunities and challenges for the forest sector. To further support a sustainable and circular bioeconomy and the potential for a positive relationship with forests, public and private sector actors need to continue efforts that will effectively address the environmental, economic, and social aspects of a transition.

The circularity of paper and paperboard value chains is implemented principally thanks to the link between the design and production on the one hand and the use and end-of-life management on the other. As paper products become more complex and have to fulfil more functions, it is important that designers and producers of paper-based products are aware of the paper recycling process and contribute to high rates of and high-quality recovered paper allowing paper products to stay in the material loop. Various initiatives have been put in place in the pulp and paper value chain to ensure this objective and increase the circularity of paper-based products. However, the high rate of recycling is an achievement distinct from the pulp and paper industry among forest-based industries. The study describes the complexity of the pulp and paper industry with its different stages of raw material use, pulp and papermaking production processes and, finally, the trend to create higher-value products from side stream utilization. The study also gives the general industry context by describing an overall trend from a resource-intensive industry to one that has reduced its resource consumption, including through increased recycling rates over the last few years and the attention given to the optimization of water use and energy consumption. The design for the end-of-life valorization is equally important for all industries in the forest sector to successfully embrace circularity. However, in the pulp and paper industry, this important aspect of circularity has been realized as the high level of recycling is a prominent industry-wide feature. For this reason, this study places a particular focus on circular design and its interlinkages with the high level of paper recycling.

This joint report by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (UNECLAC), with support from the European Union, shows how extensive volumes of textile waste end up in the Atacama Desert, releasing microplastics and chemicals and transforming the landscape into a veritable open-air landfill. In 2022 alone, 124,000 tonnes of second-hand textiles entered Chile, according to Chilean National Customs Service data, many of which were eventually disposed of. This issue, however, is not isolated to Chile but indicative of a broader trend. This report offers an in-depth examination of the global trade flows of second-hand clothing, focusing on Europe and Chile. Through meticulous field and desk research, it elucidates the complex web of actors involved. It highlights the often-overlooked consequences of trade dynamics, consumer behaviours, and waste management strategies, uncovering some pressing challenges.

Cooperation over transboundary rivers, lakes and aquifers is critical to ensuring that water resources are managed in an equitable and sustainable manner, and the achievement of SDG6 (water). Transboundary waters also create social, economic, environmental and political inter-dependencies that make cooperation a precondition to sustainable development, peace and security. As the only target in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that makes explicit reference to transboundary cooperation, target 6.5 can play a catalytic role across multiple SDGs and targets. It can generate multiple benefits for the protection of human health, renewable energy provision, sustainable agriculture, climate adaptation, ecosystem protection, and peace and security. This publication presents the results of the third reporting exercise on SDG indicator 6.5.2 carried out in 2023-2024. It offers valuable insights into the progress achieved in establishing operational arrangements for transboundary waters, and the gaps that remain; and highlights that an acceleration in strengthening transboundary water cooperation is urgently needed to be able to face growing water challenges and prevent conflicts on water use. The report places special emphasis on the relationship between transboundary water cooperation and particularly SDG indicator 6.5.2 and climate change.

The transport sector is a significant contributor to global emissions. In 2019, direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the road transport sector accounted for 23 per cent of global energy-related CO2 emissions (Jaramillo et al. 2022). The third part of the Sixth Assessment Report of IPCC titled “Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change” was released in April 2022 suggested that without intervention, CO2 emissions from transport could grow between 16 per cent and 50 per cent by 2050. To meet the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, it is necessary to achieve rapid decarbonization in all sectors. However, the transport sector is currently experiencing a rise in energy demand and GHG emissions, outpacing all other sectors except for industry, and is heavily reliant on fossil fuels. Transitioning to an electric vehicle (EV)-based transport system is an approach that can achieve GHG emissions reductions at the scale necessary to decarbonize transport. This shift would also significantly reduce vehicle pollutant emissions and dependence on fossil fuel imports for transport. The publication explores the transformative impact of electric mobility in the transportation sector, focusing on how electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping industry dynamics and aligning with sustainable development goals. It discusses the drivers behind EV adoption, including political and environmental factors, and details various policy instruments, such as incentives and regulations, across multiple transport modes. Additionally, it assesses the infrastructure needed for EVs, emphasizing the importance of expanding and standardizing charging solutions.
