For Guanajuato, the transition to the Circular Economy and the efficient use of resources represents an alternative to take on global challenges such as climate change, the loss of biodiversity and pollution.
The workshops aimed to:
- Strengthen the capacities of small and medium-sized companies to identify measures that promote the efficient use of their resources
- Support the promotion of international dialogue and cooperation processes regarding the efficient use of resources and climate action
This collaborative work was achieved with the participation of the State Training Institute -IECA-, jointly offering 10 training workshops, achieving the participation of more than 400 representatives of MSMEs.
