CC9, English/French interpretation
In the wake of growing environmental challenges, the need for governments to adopt sustainable practices has never been more urgent. In this context, public procurement has considerable potential to drive the green transition by promoting sustainable practices, reducing environmental impacts, and encouraging the adoption of clean technologies. This session will focus on strategies and experiences that showcase how governments are using procurement to support environmental sustainability goals, including reducing carbon footprints, combatting climate change, protecting biodiversity, promoting resource efficiency, and advancing circular economy principles.
