The session focused on the region, discussing common challenges, developments, and priority actions for transitioning to a circular economy. The speakers provide an overview of the current circular economy ecosystem and legal frameworks in the MENA region, share recommendations for targeted programs, and discuss examples from Tunisia and Greece.
