'The circular economy holds massive climate mitigation potential.'

This year's anniversary edition of the Circularity Gap Report—Circle Economy's annual assessment of how circular the world is and where we are headed—looks back at five years of analysis and learnings to highlight key messages worth repeating:
70% of greenhouse gas emissions are related to the way we produce and use products.

If applied globally and combined with current national climate pledges, circular solutions could deliver significant emissions reductions.

In the last few years since the Paris Agreement, we consumed more than half a trillion tonnes of virgin materials and the Circularity Gap got worse, not better.

On our way to net zero and to a more circular world, we must not forget about people.

Our response to the climate emergency must reduce global and local inequalities and protect against overshooting the means of the planet.
