About the CCE Approach
- The circular carbon economy (CCE) is an integrated and inclusive approach to transitioning toward more comprehensive, resilient, sustainable, and climate-friendly energy systems that support and enable sustainable development.
- The CCE is a holistic approach to carbon management that can guide international efforts toward a more inclusive, resilient, sustainable, and carbon‐neutral or net‐zero energy system.
- The CCE enables countries to take advantage of all technologies, forms of energy, and mitigation opportunities according to resource availability, economics, and national circumstances.

Above attached image of Circular Carbon Economy (CCE)
- The circular carbon economy builds on the principles of circular economy and applies them to managing carbon emissions:
- To reduce the carbon that must be managed in the first place,
- To reuse carbon as an input to create feedstocks and fuels,
- To recycle carbon through the natural carbon cycle with bioenergy, and, unique to circular carbon economy, to remove excess carbon and store it.
- How climate scenarios transition over time, each of the scenarios results in similar climate outcomes (less than a 2 degree C increase in global average temperatures above pre-industrial levels), but take different paths to get there.
- By visualizing these scenarios in a circular carbon economy framework, we can see how all options to manage carbon emissions are critical in reaching climate goals, as shown in the below attached image. (please refer the link too regarding the visualizer https://www.cceguide.org/cce-visualiser/)

- As PM Modiji mentioned about the CCE Approach in the G20 Virtual summit 2020 stating “There are efforts to eliminate single-use plastics; Our forest cover is Expanding ; The lion and tiger population is increasing; We aim to restore 26 million hectares of degraded land by 2030; And, we are encouraging a circular economy. India is making next-generation infrastructure such as metro networks, water-ways and more. In addition to convenience and efficiency , they will also contribute to a cleaner environment. We will meet our goal of 175 Giga Watts of renewable energy well before the target of 2022. Now, we are taking a big step ahead by seeking to achieve 450 Giga Watts by 2030. “
- The CCE Approach helps the future for the countries to meet the Paris Agreement requirements and to go forward to have the Sustainable and balanced approach while dealing with Environment and Developmental issues.
