The ECESP Leadership Group on the Circular Built Environment organised a #EUCircularTalk on Navigating the Circular Built Environment, presentation of the ECESP Reading Guide.

The #EUCircularTalks series seeks to foster an inclusive dialogue with stakeholders outside the Leadership Groups. The organisers therefore aim to engage a range of participants and collaborate on shared circular economy goals. In this Circular Talk, they reached out to new target groups that might not be so familiar with circular principles but are working on affordable housing. 

This particular Circular Talk:

• provided a platform for researchers and policymakers who have contributed to significant publications over the past year to present their insights and findings. This helped participants stay informed about the latest developments in the circular built environment.
• was an opportunity for a panel discussion where participants asked questions and engaged in meaningful dialogue. 
• introduced a comprehensive reading guide that summarises these and other key publications, helping participants to navigate the wealth of information available on the circular built environment.
