Dear Working Group members,
Circular economy is an important political priority both in the EU and in China as confirmed by the 'Memorandum of Understanding on Circular Economy Cooperation' signed in July 2018. Both sides have been discussing on strengthening the bilateral collaboration to better respond to common challenges and support a global transition to a resource-efficient and circular economic model in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. In China, "Circular economy" refers to the general term of the reduction, reuse and resource-based activities carried out in the process of production, circulation and consumption. Its legal status and importance is established by China’sCircular Economy Promotion Law to utilise resources, protect environment, and achieve sustainable development. In February 2021, the State Council released the Guidance on Accelerating the Establishment and Improvement of A Green Low-carbon Circular Economic System,highlighting the promotion of circular development systems in the life circle of manufacture and consumption to achieve the carbon neutrality targets. In the European Union, the European Commission adopted the New Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) in March 2020. It is one of the main building blocks of the European Green Deal, Europe’s new agenda for sustainable growth. The EU’s transition to a circular economy will reduce pressure on natural resources and will create sustainable growth and jobs. It is also a prerequisite to achieve the EU’s 2050 climate neutrality target and to halt biodiversity loss.
To help our members explore the potential business opportunities in this area in both China and the EU, the European Chamber is pleased to invite you to attend the first session of the seminar series on circular economy: Session I Circular Economy Development and Cooperation in China and the EU on Friday, 28th May from 14:0016:30.
