During the EU-India Summit held digitally this month, Europe and India established a Joint Declaration to intensify EU-India cooperation in the areas of resource efficiency and circular economy.
The declaration sets an India-EU Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy Partnership bringing together representatives of relevant stakeholders from both sides, including governments, businesses (including start-ups), academia and research institutes.
The Partnership should support and strengthen dialogue and cooperation on resource efficiency and circular economy, facilitate the design, planning, implementation, promotion and dissemination of policies, strategies, technologies, business solutions and financing mechanisms on these issues, as well as enhance cooperation on research and innovation.
