The European Union (EU) is trying to accelerate the transition from the current linear economy to a circular economy (CE). In fact, the CE is considered a tool to attain sustainable development goals (SDGs). In this sense, this paper aims at analysing the interaction between the CE and SDGs in the context of the new 2030 Agenda and the European CE strategy; thus contributing to the scarce empirical literature that links the potential of the European CE strategy to the achievement of the SDGs set by the 2030 Agenda. Three specific research questions have been formulated. First, could the objectives defined in the 2030 Agenda be considered homogeneous, and could they uniquely measure the concept of sustainability? Second, are there significant correlations between the implementation of a CE in the EU and the SDGs? Finally, is the behaviour of the 28 countries that make up the EU homogeneous in terms of the results of the initiatives aimed at the implementation of a CE? From these questions, nine hypotheses are put forward concerning the possible relationships between a CE implementation and the fulfilment of SDGs in the EU. Using a correlation analysis, an exploratory factor analysis, and a cluster analysis, it has been demonstrated that (a) SDGs do not univocally measure the concept of sustainability; (b) there are significant relationships between CE and SDGs in the EU; (c) the behaviour of these European countries is not homogeneous.

从循环经济到欧盟的可持续发展目标:实证比较

欧盟 (EU) 正试图加速从当前的线性经济向循环经济 (CE) 的过渡。事实上,CE 被认为是实现可持续发展目标 (SDG) 的工具。从这个意义上说,本文旨在分析新的 2030 年议程和欧洲 CE 战略背景下 CE 与 SDGs 之间的相互作用;从而有助于将欧洲 CE 战略的潜力与实现 2030 年议程设定的可持续发展目标联系起来的稀缺实证文献。制定了三个具体的研究问题。首先,2030 年议程中定义的目标是否可以被认为是同质的,它们是否可以唯一衡量可持续性的概念?其次,在欧盟实施 CE 与 SDGs 之间是否存在显着相关性?最后,就旨在实施 CE 的举措的结果而言,组成欧盟的 28 个国家的行为是否一致?根据这些问题,提出了关于 CE 实施与欧盟实现可持续发展目标之间可能存在的关系的九个假设。使用相关性分析、探索性因素分析和聚类分析,已经证明 (a) SDGs 并没有明确衡量可持续性的概念;(b) 欧盟的 CE 与可持续发展目标之间存在重要关系;(c) 这些欧洲国家的行为并不相同。关于欧盟实施 CE 与实现可持续发展目标之间可能存在的关系,提出了九个假设。使用相关性分析、探索性因素分析和聚类分析,已经证明 (a) SDGs 并没有明确衡量可持续性的概念;(b) 欧盟的 CE 与可持续发展目标之间存在重要关系;(c) 这些欧洲国家的行为并不相同。关于欧盟实施 CE 与实现可持续发展目标之间可能存在的关系,提出了九个假设。使用相关性分析、探索性因素分析和聚类分析,已经证明 (a) SDGs 并没有明确衡量可持续性的概念;(b) 欧盟的 CE 与可持续发展目标之间存在重要关系;(c) 这些欧洲国家的行为并不相同。
