Monitoring Progress towards a Resource-Efficient and Circular Economy
Policies that foster the transition towards a more circular economy are gaining significant
traction. Such policies are essential for a sustainable, low-carbon, resource-efficient
and competitive economy. These developments bring about demands for reliable information
to track progress and gauge results as well as for indicators that speak to policymakers
and the public at large.
This report presents a conceptual framework and indicator set to monitor progress
and inform circular economy policies. It is designed to support OECD work on circular
economy and provides a source of inspiration for countries seeking to build a coherent
circular economy monitoring framework.
