On April 8, 2024, CLG Europe’s Materials and Products Taskforce hosted a WCEF Side Event webinar: "How the new EU institutions can kickstart the Circular Economy." Ahead of European elections, experts discussed the circular economy's political role. A recent ESABCC report highlights minimal EU progress in circular material use, increasing from 10.8% (2010) to 11.7% (2021).

To meet the EU's 2030 goal of doubling this rate, a tenfold increase in current annual progress requires more recycling and less material demand. The Taskforce, established in 2021 to drive policy, will release a report later this year. It will set the EU's circular economy policy agenda for the next five years, recommending actions to accelerate the shift to climate-neutral materials.

The global transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy, including battery storage, is vital for environmental protection. However, this shift requires "transition minerals," whose extraction frequently causes new displacements and dispossession of Indigenous Peoples' territories.

This series aims to inform and educate Indigenous Peoples about their right to free, prior, and informed consent regarding minerals found on their lands.
