Towards a national strategic framework for the circular economy in the Czech Republic
Analysis and a proposed set of key elements
The past decades have witnessed unprecedented growth in global consumption of raw
materials, which also lead to increased environmental pressures. As a response to
these challenges, countries across the world have made the transition to a circular
economy one of their policy priorities. This report develops a set of key elements
of a strategic framework for the circular economy in the Czech Republic, which the
government is developing (Circular Czechia 2040). It discusses the rationale for transitioning
to a circular economy in the Czech Republic and provides an in-depth analysis of four
priority areas: consumption and consumers, waste management, economic instruments,
as well as research innovation and digitalisation. The report also suggests 40 concrete
policy measures to help implement the strategic framework, along with a monitoring
framework to measure the progress made. This report was co-funded by the European
Union via the Structural Reform Support Programme.
