This event will bring together experts, policymakers, researchers and practitioners to discuss how innovation, governance and finance can accelerate the transition toward a circular economy.
CO₂ pricing helps governments turn emissions into tangible costs that influence real choices in policy, projects and public procurement.
This webinar is the first in a series exploring how CO₂ pricing is applied in practice as a management tool. It will explain how policy and projects guide choices together, and how procurement can embed these choices without fixed rules.
Berlin's Zero Waste Agency aims to make Berlin a zero-waste capital. As well as providing useful information via its website, it organises Zero Waste Action Weeks each year and brings together stakeholders in working groups and general meetings.
LOOP Forum is the leading Nordic meeting place for companies working with the circular economy and resource efficiency.
It will bring together decision-makers from across industries to explore how circular solutions can strengthen competitiveness, secure access to critical resources, and build more resilient European value chains.
Building on challenges and best practices identified among frontrunner cities and regions, ICLEI Europe and its members have provided nine policy recommendations to address the limitations of the current scope of the CEA:
Leverage circular economy to cut consumption-based emissions
Reduce material consumption to enhance the EU’s economic security
Ensure the transition to a circular economy is just and inclusive, leaving no one behind
Ensure a multilevel governance approach in policy development and implementation
Shift funding from piloting towards scaling-up
Build capacity in cities to support circular economy implementation
Build the case to reform the linear tax system
Leverage public procurement to provide a launch market for circular businesses
This audit aimed to evaluate the action taken by the European Commission and the Member States with a view to achieving the EU’s objectives for municipal waste.
It assessed whether the Commission’s legal initiatives and enforcement were fit for purpose; whether the four sampled Member States have made good progress in achieving EU waste targets and objectives; and whether the 16 sampled projects in these Member States – co-financed with EU funds – were implemented well in terms of time, cost and capacity.
The audit covered the period from 2014 to 2024. It found that while the Commission has boosted targets and requirements, many Member States face challenges in their progress towards circularity, mainly due to financial constraints and weaknesses in planning and implementation.
This webinar will introduce the concept of circular sanitation and will show the benefits of closing nitrogen and phosphorus loops. Using examples from all over Europe, it will present policies and actions that local and regional authorities can implement to make circular sanitation a reality.
This online session is a side event of the European Week of Regions and Cities.
The Horizon Europe project DECISO (DEvelopers of CIrcular SOlutions) aims to support European cities and regions as they develop financing schemes for circular economy initiatives. The project's final event will showcase how European cities and regions overcome financing barriers impeding circular economy initiatives.
Join one of the new CCRI communities of practice to benefit from focused, in-depth exchanges with other circular frontrunners. Tap into ideas, tools and experience of others on the same path to create better solutions, faster.
