Transitioning towards a circular economy: opportunities and steps for Latin America

by Mg.© Alejandro Venegas-Cifuentes, Andree Henríquez Aravena, Dr. Dr. Luis Martínez Cerna

Final report

Latin America is taking its first steps to move towards this model that aims to achieve sustainable development, but how much do we know about the progress? Of barriers to drive traffic? Of the looming threats? Of the opportunities it gives us? These questions are precisely what we seek to answer from this study entitled Transiting towards the circular economy: opportunities and steps for Latin America, being a seminal work for the region.

The Circular Economy has quietly emerged as an alternative that achieves increasing consensus at the international level as a viable and, above all, applicable way to replace the linear model characteristic of the industrial revolution.

Latin America is taking its first steps to move towards this model that aims to achieve sustainable development, but how much do we know about the progress? We invite you to discover it in the following joint work between the Regional Program for Energy Security and Climate Change in Latin America (EKLA) of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Foundation (KAS) and the Center for Innovation and Circular Economy (CIEC), with the support of the Innovation Observatory of the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Chile and the Latin American Center for Relations with Europe (CELARE).
