EU Green Week is very nearly here! It will run from 3 to 5 June, and will comprise a huge range of events. The ECESP will be one of the organisers, and so will be involved in some sessions and hosting others. Have a look at the programme!

This year, EU Green Week will focus on circular solutions for a competitive EU. It will explore how the EU economy can speed up the transition from linear to circular models of production and consumption.

The World Circular Economy Forum is one of the biggest circular events of the year. WCEF2025 will take place in São Paulo, Brazil on 13-16 May under the heading Tropical solutions for sustainable growth!

The programme has now been released, with a rich selection of plenaries and parallel sessions.
