TPS C4 – Measures, Indicators, and Tools – Public Policies
Objective
- Provide an overview of the situation in Quebec.
- Identify management tools and measures for circularity.
- Identify best practices and policies framework and use, here and internationally.
Examples of Research Questions and Issues
- How can multiscalar and multidimensional analyses (social, economic, entrepreneurial, environmental) contribute to the internal and external coherence of circular economy policies?
- Beyond measuring circularity, what indicators, data, and tools can be used for the design, redesign, optimization, implementation, and evaluation of public policies?
- How can public needs and values be considered in the development of indicators?
- How can objectives be identified?
- How can access to key data be managed to promote research and utilization?
Steering Committee
The TPS C4, which deals with public policies, is managed by a team responsible for proposing TPS orientations.
