The establishment of the World Bioeconomy Association marks a pivotal moment in addressing the escalating global need for a unified platform dedicated to advancing the principles and practices of the bioeconomy. With the bioeconomy emerging as a key player in sustainable economic growth, there's a pressing demand for cohesive efforts to propel its development forward. The Association serves as a nexus, bringing together a diverse array of stakeholders spanning public organisations, businesses, academia, government bodies, NGOs, and civil society representatives, all committed to driving progress in the bioeconomy.
The World Bioeconomy Association and its partners are building on findings from a survey conducted in 2023 that found a wide variety of topics were considered pertinent to be discussed at a global level, including:
The World Bioeconomy Association advocates for a paradigm shift within the bioeconomy, recognising the imperative to transition towards more sustainable and circular practices. By embracing three core visions – Bioresource, Biotechnology, and Bioecology – the Association underscores the multifaceted nature of the bioeconomy and the need for holistic approaches to its advancement. This paradigm shift fosters innovation, encourages responsible resource management, and promotes the integration of ecological processes into economic activities.
Prioritising responsible production and sustainable resource utilisation, the bioeconomy aims to minimise waste, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and mitigate environmental degradation. Aligning with circular economy principles not only enhances resource efficiency but also opens up new avenues for economic growth and job creation. This shift is essential for addressing 21st-century challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, food security, and public health.
The bioeconomy is gaining traction in various international forums. For example, Brazil, as the president of the G20, has launched a bioeconomy initiative (GIB) aimed at establishing High-Level Principles on Bioeconomy.
In this questionnaire, we have organised questions under two themes:
The survey will take approximately 15–20 minutes to complete and will be open from Jun to September 2024.
The survey results will be published during Q4, 2024.
Your expertise and perspective are invaluable to us. By participating in this survey, you will help shape the future of the bioeconomy and contribute to sustainable development worldwide.
Thank you for your participation and valuable contribution to this important endeavor.
