Circular Economy Policy Maker E-Training

A linear ‘take-make-dispose’ economy has far-reaching adverse effects on ecosystems and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. As economies in Asia and the Pacific develop and the region’s population grows, consumption trends are projected to increase—highlighting the need to transition to a circular economy to help achieve sustainable development. Multi-stakeholder collaboration that is intersectoral in scope is critical to design innovative policies for building a circular supply chain.

This ADBI E-Learning course provides an in-depth look at circular economy principles and highlights successful examples of circular economy transition in Asia and globally. It also spotlights policy recommendations to help countries move toward circularity. Topics range from the mobilization of resources and investment to technical education, redesigning resource streams, and circular supply chain development.
