Enabling Mechanisms for Circularity in Latin America and the Caribbean

Abstract

Within Latin America’s strategic importance in the global value chain, circular economy strategies emerge as pivotal pathways for the region. By identifying key enabling mechanisms (namely regulatory frameworks, assessing and monitoring socio-economic metabolism, and financial instruments), this paper unveils the imperative for actions in fostering a circularity transition, and preserving traditional circular economy practices for Latin American and the Caribbean countries in the upcoming decade.
