The population is growing exponentially and demands food, fiber, services, etc. And on the other hand, the weather goes every time unpredictable. Technology and innovation seem to be an alternative as long as it is possible to reuse and add value to the residues and waste from the production units. This leads to asking a question that perhaps starts this discussion. What is the country's agenda on the issue of Bioeconomy?
The first Global Bioeconomy Summit was held in Berlin in November 2015 following the United Nations’ adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals), the G7 agreement on global decarbonization and alleviation of hunger for 500 million people, and the signing of the Paris Agreement limiting the global temperature rise to below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. The second Global Bioeconomy Summit held in Berlin in April 2018 was in the main a stock-taking exercise on recent developments. In relation to this query, is there any reason why country-level actions targeting the bioeconomy might not be linked to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by means of the Sustainable Development Goal targets and indicators, which might then be used to monitor progress towards a sustainable bioeconomy?
Dear Serrat, it is correct. In Europe, the Bioeconomy issue is more developed than in America. I consider that the indicator may be the inclusion of the Bioeocncomy in Gross product, but also I consider that the indicator of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by means of the Sustainable Development Goal targets and indicators may be an alternative of measurement. How are in this address the America Countries?
