The EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan and forests: How and why NGOs should engage

This report looks at the European Union (EU) Circular Economy Action Plan, presented in December 2015 by the European Commission (EC) as the Communication “Closing the loop - An EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy”. It assesses the relevance of the Action Plan for forests and forest-risk commodities, and considers how non-governmental organisations (NGOs) could engage with EU policy in these areas.
