Europe’s leading environmental conference will take place in Brussels on 3-5 June, focusing on Circular solutions for a competitive EU.

Competitiveness is at the heart of the EU’s agenda. This spring, a Competitiveness Compass and the Clean Industrial Deal will provide new direction and impetus. With its potential to drive sustainable competitiveness, reduce waste, increase strategic autonomy and promote innovation, circular economy offers solutions to some of the EU’s most pressing challenges.

This year’s Green Week will unpack the “three Cs” - Clean, Competitive & Circular – exploring how to put circularity at the centre of our economic transition. The conference will enable knowledge sharing, building of alliances, and awareness raising about the potential of a circular economy.

On 3-4 June, the conference will feature high-level debates on policy aspects of circular economy. On 5 June, in-depth discussions among stakeholders will focus on unleashing the circular economy’s potential for a competitive and resource-efficient Europe.

A wider shift to circular models of production and consumption requires broad-based engagement. In 2025, the Green Week is therefore organised in partnership with the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform and the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative.

Green Week partner events

Throughout June, Green Week partner events will take the conversation on circularity to local and regional levels, engaging businesses, individuals, and communities across Europe and beyond.

Application for partner events will be open between 3-21 March. The guidelines on how to engage people through debates, festivals, workshops, seminars, project visits, and other ways of discovering the potential of circular economy will be available in early February.

Registration will open at the end of April.
