On 18 November 2020 join AIJA’s Commission Month and participate in the Environmental and Energy Law Commission Day. Katarzyna Kuźma, Partner in DZP’s Infrastructure & Energy Practice, will be speaking on sustainability requirements in tenders during a workshop addressing highlights of national reports regarding circularity.
About the Environmental and Energy Law Commission Day:
Most world’s economies are not maintaining a good pace with today’s demanding and abrupt changes. This lack of innovation strongly affects our environment. Raw materials are shrinking and its traditional linear system does not support a sustainable economy anymore.
Thus, a circular economy, by disrupting current means of production, consumption, and waste, prompting a prolific environment for innovative endeavors, should be a solution to the scarce linear economy of raw materials and energy.
Policies in Asia, Europe and the Americas are incorporating mandates on eco-design and shared responsibilities between national governments, companies, and individuals. These mandates and cooperation between parties are challenging traditional legislative methods to include a more circular economy thinking/approach into several areas of practice.
Our E&E Commission wants to give you an overview within the fascinating and innovative field of circular economy.
