Oman has officially started preparing circular economy principles, marking a key step in aligning its economic model with sustainability goals and low-carbon development. The project reflects Oman’s broader ambition to move from traditional linear consumption patterns to meet its carbon neutrality target by 2050.
Second Workshop Held To Discuss Implementation And Timelines
The Ministry of Economy recently reviewed its initial discussions at the second workshop of the ‘Circular Economy Gap Calculation Project’, a pioneering initiative in the Middle East and North Africa. Accordingly, it is expected to support sustainable, low-carbon development and create investment opportunities in renewable energy and the green economy. The project also seeks to define a baseline for measuring the circular economy gap and comparing Oman’s performance against international benchmarks. It will assess how far the country is from adopting a circular model. Furthermore, it will provide tools to measure the environmental and economic impacts of new policies, including creation of green jobs.
Ministry Of Economy Working Closely With Several Stakeholders
The workshop provided a platform to publicly consult and question stakeholders concerning the proposed strategy. Importantly, the roadmap aims to serve as a guiding framework for policy integration and resource management in the coming decades. Moreover, the session was designed to discuss early findings and showcase models for measuring the outcomes of circular economy strategies. It also featured training programmes and a proposed digital platform to display project data and outcomes. During the session, participants reviewed preliminary models focused on the environmental and labour-market impacts of implementing circular economy practices. Group discussions were also conducted to evaluate sector-specific strategies and refine the roadmap’s policy recommendations. It was also part of wider consultations with government entities, the private sector, academic institutions and civil society. The Ministry is working with Oman Environmental Services Holding Company (be’ah) and the Circle Economy Foundation to implement the intiative
