2nd IRTC Round Table, Oct 9, 2018, Tokyo And what is with Resource Efficiency? Efficiency at economic level + Environmental dimension + Resource efficiency (RE) (raw materials, energy, water, land) Reducing the environmental impact of consumption and production of goods and services over their full life cycles § à By producing more wellbeing with less material consumption, RE enhances the means to meet human needs while respecting the ecological carrying capacity of the Earth.

2nd IRTC Round Table, Oct 9, 2018, Tokyo Which Raw Materials are critical in line with the SDGs and what is the link to CE? Economic growth Raw Materials for Low carbon and RE technologies with Supply Risk

2nd IRTC Round Table, Oct 9, 2018, Tokyo Perspectives • Develop a framework on the role of critical raw materials for sustainable development • Consider the context of a circular economy • Specify the scope of criticality assessment • Discuss the potential complementary role of other industrial ecology assessment tools • Embed the framework into the Sustainable Development Goals • Rethink if current 3-dimensional SDGs clusters are best suited for considering the role of critical raw materials
