The guidelines were developed by a Task Force that was set-up in 2021 to assess the availability and accessibility of circular economy indicators, and was formed by a significant number of international organizations1, including UNEP, and countries representatives. The members of the Task Force assessed the available information on circular economy, homogenised the concepts and definitions, as well as proposed an aspirational indicators framework that could be used by any country to assess their progress towards shifting to circular economy.
