What is the link between circularity and GHG emissions?

UN Environment Programme explores how the circular use of resources can support lower emissions especially in the building and automotive sectors.

𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬:
GHG emissions from the material cycle of residential buildings in G7 countries and China could be reduced by at least 80% by 2050
through strategies like modular design,
designing with fewer materials,
and improved recycling.

𝐕𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬:
Emissions from the material cycle of passenger cars could be cut by up to 70% in G7 countries and 60% in China and India through
ride-sharing, car-sharing, and shifting to smaller cars.

𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:
The report reviews policies that support material efficiency and emphasizes the need for stronger integration of resource efficiency into climate strategies
