Verso una contrattazione pubblica sostenibile e circolare secondo l’Agenda ONU 2030

This paper aims to capture the relevance of public procurement for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, taking into account the transformation of the development model constituted by the ecological transition. Using this functional approach, in fact, public procurement may both represent a tool for achieving the goals of sustainability (not only environmental) embodied by the legal system at the various international, European and national levels (think, among others, of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan-NRRP), and be itself “sustainable” regardless of the goal it sets out to achieve.
