The Circular Carbon Economy Index 2024 – Results

The Circular Carbon Economy Index 2024 – Results

The 2024 CCE Index provides a multidimensional overview of the current state of net-zero transitions worldwide, covering 125 countries from all world regions. It is based on the holistic, technology-neutral and flexible concept of the circular carbon economy (CCE), where a full CCE is understood as the equivalent of net-zero emissions. This KAPSARC Discussion Paper presents the results of the 2024 CCE Index and provides related analytical insights. The 2024 CCE Index results deliver nine headline policy messages, which reflect the urgency of accelerating the global net-zero transition, doubling down on sustained progress and ensuring just transitions worldwide.

Saudi Arabia and the Circular Carbon Economy: From Vision to Implementation

Saudi Arabia and the Circular Carbon Economy: From Vision to Implementation

This case study shows how the Circular Carbon Economy (CCE) Index can be used to analyze a country’s CCE performance and enablers in a holistic manner and in a comparative context, relative to other countries. Saudi Arabia is an extremely relevant country to examine in this context given the centrality of the CCE concept in its climate change and energy transition policy. The paper aims to do two things: first, it provides an analysis of Saudi Arabia’s current CCE performance and its enabling environments for the CCE transition, relative to other countries. Second, it places this in the context of the Kingdom’s current policy targets and measures to understand its direction. By doing so, the analysis seeks to help inform the Saudi Government as it prepares its second Paris Agreement nationally determined contribution (NDC) ahead of the 2025 deadline. Overall, Saudi Arabia has already come a long way on its net-zero journey by developing and setting the CCE concept as the framework for the major transition ahead. The 2023 CCE Index paints a picture of a country that is already among the leading countries in the CCE in its region, with high ambition and significant potential to do even more.
