The UN is working on several initiatives to promote a circular economy, where resources are reused instead of wasted. They are looking at new business models, traceability in supply chains, food systems, and knowledge sharing.

For example, they are studying how platforms like Amazon can be used to create circular marketplaces for used goods.They are also developing a data standard for tracking textiles throughout the supply chain. In the food sector, they are working to reduce food waste by sharing best practices and promoting new technologies. The UN will showcase these initiatives at a conference in Geneva in June.
