The establishment of the World Bioeconomy Association, a non-profit organisation and NGO, addresses the growing need for a global hub dedicated to enhancing and advocating for the bioeconomy.
The World Bioeconomy Association unites the global bioeconomy community to foster sustainable economic growth and advance the transition to a bioeconomy. Our partners and members include a diverse range of stakeholders, public organisations, business leaders, academics, government officials, NGOs, or other civil society representatives, all committed to pursuing progress in the bioeconomy.
The Association promotes circularity of the bioeconomy, while recognising that all bioeconomy principles cannot be always circular. In the bioeconomy, resources are produced responsibly and sustainably, generating raw materials, intermediate and end products to replace materials exiting the cycle, thereby complementing the circular economy balance without reliance on a fossil-based economy.
A global call to scale the bioeconomy for climate action, resilience, and sustainable growth. The Declaration outlines the policy and investment steps needed to move from recognition to implementation.
If your organisation wishes to endorse the Copenhagen Declaration, please contact the World Bioeconomy Association at info@bioeconomyassociation.org.
The World Bioeconomy Association actively promotes the bioeconomy as a key solution for climate action at the highest global platforms. From the G20 to the UNFCCC Climate Convention (COP30 in Brazil), WBA is driving the recognition of bioeconomy as a pillar for sustainable growth, innovation, and just transition. These engagements ensure that the circular bioeconomy is firmly positioned in global climate, trade, and investment agendas.
Advancing the bioeconomy through dialogue, partnerships and practical implementation pathways.
WBA facilitates international collaboration across governments, industry, research, and investment ecosystems.
The WBA Advisory Board brings together internationally recognized leaders from science, business, policy, and civil society to guide our mission and ensure impact.
The bioeconomy is a multisectoral concept, embraced by three visions of the bioeconomy in the Association strategy and communication.
