The design of the governance structure is crucial to turn the circular economy from a vision into a mainstream economic model that actually promotes sustainable growth. This session focuses on the "Circular Trilogy" - from the internal transformation of corporate governance, policy guidance at the national level, to regulatory alignment and cooperation platforms at the international level, with the aim of exploring how to establish institutional conditions and cross-level connection mechanisms to support circular economy actions. It therefore explains how to make "good ideas" become "good business" and make circular economy a real economy driver.
