CEMBUREAU, the European Cement Association, invites you to take part in its annual conference. This year, the focus will be "Cementing Europe's Future: Where Next for Industrial Decarbonisation?"
The event will take place on 16 October at TownHall Europe, Brussels although it will also be possible to take part remotely.
This report aims to shed light on the carbon footprint of the retail and wholesale sector in Europe and its value chains around the world. Besides providing insight into the status quo, it aims to set out a path towards a more sustainable future across four retail and wholesale subsectors:
food and beverage and health and beauty
textile and apparel
consumer electronics, and
home and do-it-yourself.
The study points out that there are four decarbonisation levers for retailers and wholesalers, including improved product circularity and improved packaging circularity.
The publisher hopes that this study will provide policymakers with actionable insights.
The Mediterranean is facing rising challenges related to environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, pollution, overpopulation and water scarcity. These issues are exacerbated by heatwaves, droughts and coastal vulnerabilities. This means that there is a critical need for an immediate transition to a green, circular economy in the Euro-Mediterranean region.
This report looks at the state of play there, the challenges to be faced and the role of stakeholders. It is intended to help policymakers align decisions and strategies for sustainable economic development and to provide up-to-date information for funding agencies, businesses, researchers, academics and civil society organisations advocating for green and fair policies in the Mediterranean region.
Circular Week is an international series of events and initiatives dedicated to the circular economy and sustainable development, taking place across Europe. This year, the event will take place on 21-25 October.
Any company, individual, institution, association or other entity which would like to be a co-organiser and partner of Circular Week can host their own event from 21-25 October. Events can take the form of conferences, educational workshops, seminars, webinars and more, in any format and in any location. Do you have an idea for an event? Submit it!
CircularB (Implementation of Circular Economy in the Built Environment) aims to develop a common international framework for a circularity rating tool with Key Performance Indicators.
They have therefore launched an international survey to gather fresh insights into the technological, economic, cultural-societal, and regulatory barriers to circular economy implementation in the construction industry.
CircularInvest provides tailor-made support to improve projects' circularity, develop a business plan (including IP and legal aspects), and make circular economy projects more appealing to investors.

The Coordination Group (CG) is a key component of the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform. Its members come from a broad spectrum of organisations and are responsible for enabling and implementing the Platform’s vision and activities. The mandate of the current CG will end in October 2025.
With a view to the future CG, the European Commission has published a call for proposals under the LIFE Programme for the Environment and Climate Action. The call will fund a project intended to strengthen the CG’s role in advancing the transition to a circular economy, including circular business models.
The European Commission's Directorate-General for Environment will hold an information session for potential applicants on Monday 8 July at 10:00 – 12:00 CEST.
