This position paper synthesises youth perspectives on the EU Circular Economy Act through a consultation survey of 57 responses across Europe, a youth check at the ECESP Annual Conference 2026 and additional qualitative stakeholder input.
There are two main parts: Youth Priorities: What the Act Still Needs identifies what young people consider is missing or insufficiently addressed in the current framing of the CEA. From Policy to Practice: What Effective Implementation Needs explains how these priorities could be addressed through the Act and its implementation.
