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.
This briefing presents key air pollutant trends and projections for energy-intensive industries in Europe.
It looks at how greenhouse gas emissions have fallen over the past two decades, but improvements in this area have stalled in the last ten years. Further progress will require the implementation of environmental legislation and transformative change in emission-intensive processes.
The briefing also looks at decarbonisation and circularity. Both approaches, particularly electrification, offer significant co-benefits for pollution prevention. A clear understanding of these co-benefits and risks should be used to guide investments and maximise environmental, health and competitiveness gains.
This briefing from the European Environment Agency looks at the links between the circular economy and climate change mitigation. Many reports and studies argue that this link exists, but estimates of its potential diverge greatly. See what the EEA has to say about why that is!

Hazards Out! aims to raise awareness about the mandatory separate collection of household hazardous waste and support local authorities and other relevant stakeholders with establishing effective management strategies for it.
This workshop will focus on the operational aspects of HHW management, exploring how hazardous household waste is safely transported, temporarily stored, treated, and, where possible, recovered.
This interactive workshop will explore where investment, leadership and effort can deliver the greatest circular economy impact in 2026.
With four panellists including Ladeja Godina Košir, chair of the ECESP, it will look at the circular economy in real-world conditions, circular education programmes and how EU-Australia cooperation can drive on the circular economy.
CE-PRINCE (Central Europe Green PRocurement and Innovation Network for Circular Economy) is an Interreg Central Europe project. It aims to standardise circular procurement approaches across central European countries and industries.
