Growing calls for circular economy to be placed at heart of economic recovery

As the world moves from a state of crisis to gradual recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, there is a unique, but narrow, window of opportunity to transform the global economy and accelerate the changes that have long been delayed and are required for genuine transformation. During a keynote address at a circular bioeconomy-focused virtual event last month,  UK royal Charles, the Prince of Wales, spoke about nature’s key role in circular bioeconomic transformation, and encouraged the prioritisation of and investment in nature as “the true engine” for a new economy, suggesting that a circular bioeconomy was required to “urgently restore the balance” that the human population has disrupted.
