Reviewing its work in this sector, Germany’s GIZ reported that, in collaboration with partners, it has spearheaded initiatives in Libya to propel a circular economy of waste prioritising waste minimisation. Circular economyGIZ explained that contrary to the linear economy’s approach of extraction, consumption and disposal, the circular economy promotes continuous usage and regeneration loops. The workshop’s objective was to evaluate each municipality’s potential in both nations to embrace and work within a circular economy. This activity is supported by the European Union in Libya and Germany’s BMZ -funded project “Decentralisation as a contribution to peacebuilding in Libya / Support to municipalities in Libya (SML)”. It is implemented by Germany’s GIZ in cooperation with the Libyan Ministry of Local Government and 30 partner municipalities.
