A newly launched report by the Norwegian Climate Committee 2050 (available in Norwegian) provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges Norway faces in meeting its climate targets, highlighting problem areas such as consumption, emissions and biodiversity. It shines a spotlight on a significant gap between stated ambitions in current climate policies and the measures actually adopted.

To bridge this gap, the report makes several key recommendations (available in English), including outlining the role that the circular economy plays in solving the climate crisis.

CircularPSP brings together eight leading Circular Economy cities, representing 45 million people. Its focus is pre-commercial procurement (PCP).

It has invested EUR 5.64 million in R&D and provides training and holds conferences. The procurers represent a number of European countries, including capitals with strong global outreach (Berlin, Helsinki, London and Istanbul).

Its goal is to design, develop and test an innovative ‘circular economy solution’ that enables municipalities and their staff as well as businesses in the local economy to apply circular practices more quickly, frequently, widely and effectively.

Other cities, regions, government organisations, public procurers and projects are encouraged to become part of the Follower Network.

It examines five projects spanning this region and covering issues such as employing a circular economy approach for the organic fraction of municipal solid waste management. It also highlights the lessons that should be considered when replicating successes and avoiding pitfalls.
