The concept of sufficiency is necessary to broaden horizons of circular economy and look beyond key concepts such as reuse and recycle, to facilitate lifestyles that involves not just consuming better but also consuming less.

This workshop aimed to share insights from the collaboration of the ECESP Leadership Group on Enabling Circular Behaviours through Digitalisation and facilitate a dialogue between different actors.  The dialogue addressed how to make circularity the rule among the overwhelming majority of consumers in Europe, how stakeholders can support circular behaviour among consumers, and how digitalisation can play a role in this process.

This workshop explored two key aspects of the textiles value chain: the beginning and the end. It considered design, making textiles circular from the outset and exports of used textiles. 

The workshop presented an open discussion about the role of circular economy in the coming CRMs Act.

The ambition of the workshop was to present the role of network governance and circular diplomacy to embrace climate change and biodiversity.

System-level changes with long-term consistency are needed and therefore transformation of existing governance structures is unavoidable. Understanding of network governance, role of CE hubs and transition brokers as well as of circular diplomacy were in the focus of the workshop. Discussion was based on lessons learned on the ground, complemented with the presentation of initiatives focused on the identification of interventions needed to support systems change on national, regional and global level.
