Latin America is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. Still, exceptionally high urbanisation rates and a commodity-based economy leave it particularly vulnerable to system shocks. The region can find significant benefits in the transition to a circular economy, that offers opportunities to create regenerative value from its abundant natural resources and boost innovation.
Regional momentum is already building around a circular economy approach, as leading businesses and governments are turning to it as a means to secure long-term prosperity while also tackling the root cause of global challenges such as plastic pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss.
