Shifting gear: what states can do (1)

• Set clear goals; • Dare to prioritize:

- create entrepreneurial space by promising those that deliver on low carbon solutions

• Use the Power of Infra: set the defaults right- ‘hard’ infra - Influences daily routines and sustainability- ‘soft’ infra - Rules are crucial

Shifting gear: what states can do (2)

• Dynamic regulation:- move beyond targets; top runner programmes

• Financial instruments:- Fiscal powers

• Stimulate citizens to share- Circular economy is about use and service, not about

ownership• Learn through ‘variation and selection’

- State should help disseminate ‘best practices’
