BUILD UP, the European portal for energy efficiency and renewable energy in buildings, is hosting the third in a series of six webinars organised with the CircularB COST Action project. This one is on Investors, Developers and Insurance Providers.
It will explore successful projects and the challenges they face while implementing circular principles in the construction sector.
ISO 59020 covers Circular economy — Measuring and assessing circularity performance.
It provides a structured approach for organisations to measure and assess their circularity performance. It aims to standardise the process by which organisations collect and calculate data, using mandatory and optional circularity indicators.
This standard will:
help organisations align with global sustainability goals
enhance transparency and accountability in environmental reporting
support strategic decision-making for sustainable resource management.
You can read a sample or purchase the full version on the ISO website.
Together with ISO 59004 and ISO 59010, these standards offer a complete toolkit for achieving a circular economy, from principles to measurement.
During the World Circular Economy Forum 2024, the European Commissioner for International Partnerships Jutta Urpilainen announced two initiatives intended to advance the circular economy at global level.
The establishment of the EU Circular Economy Resource Centre under the Global Gateway strategy will facilitate peer-to-peer exchanges and partnerships between EU and third-country stakeholders, fostering the uptake of sound circular economy policies and business models worldwide. The Commissioner announced a EUR 15 million commitment from the European Commission.
In addition, Commissioner Urpilainen launched the "SWITCH to Circular Economy in East and Southern Africa” programme. The European Commission will contribute EUR 40 million over five years to this programme, which will promote the transition to circular economies.
From 15 to 18 April, circular economy professionals from 168 countries came together at WCEF2024 to collaborate and turn ideas into action.
The Summary Report takes stock of the event: it presents the findings and key takeaways, including reports, tools and calls to action launched at the forum by partners, discussion highlights and key statistics.
