Amendment No. 5 | Doc. 14521 | 23 April 2018
Climate change and implementation of the Paris Agreement
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 6.5 with the following paragraph:
"advance the transition to the circular economy, devise incentives for both public and private sectors for the re-use of materials at the end of the product cycle, as well as to establish ambitious national recycling targets for 2030 and 2050;".
Explanatory note
The transition to the circular economy is already ongoing, and needs a strong signal from public powers. Establishing national targets provides a medium-to-long-term certainty for investors to mobilise their capital and for economic sectors to undertake structured, organised reforms.
