Background |
|
Circular economy advocates keeping products, components and materials at their highest utilities and value at all times, distinguishing between technical and biological cycles. Also, those resources need to be kept in the system for as long as possible, extracting the maximum value from them while in use and then recovering and transforming products and materials to a new product at the end of their service life. The economic rationale for moving towards a circular economy is strong, as it increases the resilience of value chains and secures supply stability. Now a high-traction topic among policy-makers, business leaders and thinkers across the economy, circular economy thinking has begun to drive the development of circular business models in a variety of industries and in local governments. The first analysis regarding the circular economy in Montenegro was done in 2014 by the UNDP (United Nation Development Program) in the document: Resource efficiency and sustainable human development. An analysis of national policies concludes that the concept of a circular economy is far from being implemented in Montenegro, and that the efficient use of resources has not been directly integrated into Montenegrin policies and regulations. However, there are some positive developments: issues such as stimulation of innovations and productivity, mitigation of the impacts of economic growth, sustainable management of natural resources and governance improvements are integrated into National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS). The National Strategy for Sustainable Development by 2030, which fully transposed the UN Agenda 2030, recognized the importance of the transition to the circular economy. One of the main goals of this Strategic document is to “improve waste management applying the circular economy-based approaches” as a number one priority. To support the transition to a more circular economy in Montenegro, contributing thus to reducing pressure on the environment, enhancing security of supply of raw materials, increasing competitiveness, innovation and growth, and creation of jobs, an active participant of all relevant stakeholders in the country, the Chamber of Economy of Montenegro in the partnership with the United Nations Development Programme office in Montenegro, developed the national Circular Economy Roadmap. Within the project, we aim to design a Circular Economy Strategy that builds a clear vision, defines goals, align targets and priorities, allocates funds and can help to overcome the fragmentation of existing and future initiatives beyond political cycles. The Strategy will include the Action Plan for 2023-2024. A successful transformation to a circular economy could help Montenegro to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Climate Agreement targets, the ambitions of the European Green Deal. In accordance with Montenegrin Government`s Development Plans, economic recovery will be based on new postulates of innovations, digitalization and green economy. When drafting the strategy, the requirements of the Decree on the manner and procedure of drafting, harmonizing and monitoring the implementation of strategic documents (Official Gazette of Montenegro, No. 54/18), as well as the accompanying Methodologies for policy development, drafting and monitoring the implementation of strategic documents must be taken into account. In addition, special attention must be paid to the relationship between the strategic document and the current strategic framework in the country.
