DYNAMIX webinar “Preliminary results from the resource efficiency policy mix assessment: grand challenges for implementation"

The webinar presented the DYNAMIX results on policy mix assessments for resource efficiency and triggered discussions around challenges facing policy implementation both from scientific ex-ante evaluation perspective, e.g. in relation to public acceptance and political feasibility/will, and practical experiences from participants to the webinar.

In addition, presenters and participants discussed potential linkages and conceptual relations between resource and a circular economy, stating that circular economy will be and remain an essential part of any ambitious resource policy that aims at increasing resource efficiency in the wide understanding of the EU's Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe.

Finally, potential links between project results and current policy issues were addressed, such as the processes around the revision of the Circular Economy Package.
