This COP16 side event, organised by the ECESP's Leadership Group on Biodiversity & Climate, will explore the opportunities and anticipated benefits of using the circular economy as a tool for mainstreaming biodiversity in economic sectors.
This programme builds on the solid foundations laid by previous programmes.
Chapter 1 sets out a vision of the circular economy up to 2030 and 2050.
Chapter 2 addresses general measures used to help deliver a circular economy in the Netherlands. They affect the various phases of the product value chains.
Chapter 3 describes measures that relate to specific product groups, such as furniture, plastic packaging and housing.
Chapter 4 addresses supporting measures for a number of topics, such as knowledge & innovation, the Circular Netherlands Accelerator!, market incentives, financing instruments and circular procurement.
Chapter 5 covers the collaboration between the parties involved in this programme.
Chapter 6 describes which resources are available for the plans in this programme.
LIAISE is a research network set up by COST. To put it in words rather than acronyms, it’s a four-year research network focusing on Cooperation, development and cross-border transfer of Industrial Symbiosis among industry and stakeholders which was set up under European Cooperation in Science and Technology.
The report presents the progress the Commission has made in implementing the 2022 strategy for the outermost regions. It shows that the Commission has delivered on its commitment to reflect the outermost regions’ characteristics in legislative proposals, policy initiatives and programmes.
The outermost regions have high potential to develop circular economy solutions. Cohesion policy supports circular economy development there. Both the ERDF and Interreg support waste management and recycling, for instance in Réunion with EUR 18 million of ERDF funding dedicated to the circular economy. Outermost regions also benefit from support under the LIFE programme. Several of these regions have designed circular strategies, such as the Circular Economy Conference of the Azores.
Two projects in one event: come and find out more about circular procurement!
This event will launch the C-PRONE project and introduce the Circular Minds project, both of which have a focus on advancing circular procurement. Circular procurement may be a great idea but it's no easier to implement than any other form of procurement - see how these projects aim to help!
Are you interested in seeing how the circular bioeconomy can drive the development of sustainable agri-food systems across rural and urban areas in the EU? The EESC is organising a webinar on this very issue - hear what they have to say and ask your questions!
And the label is doing really well: the European Commission has released the latest statistics showing continued growth in the number of products (goods and services) awarded the EU Ecolabel. See how it contributes to the circular economy!
The UNLOCK project focuses on turning waste feathers into products for the agricultural industry, such as mulch film. It is organising a networking event focusing on advancing the circular economy within the agricultural sector. Come and discuss the benefits of feathers!
On 21 November 2024, Circular Wien is organising an upcycling fashion show featuring slow fashion designers aimed at reducing textile waste, an exhibition of art and jewelry made from recycled materials, and food rescued from waste.
