UNEP’s One Planet Network, the UNDP and the UN Climate Change secretariat have developed a practical toolbox that will help countries identify, prioritise, implement and track circular economy measures with a view to implementing their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and making them more ambitious.
The NDC Guidance is a practical guide on identifying and prioritising circular measures regarding Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
It helps integrate existing approaches, such as the UN Toolbox on Building Circularity into NDCs. 27 activity sheets describe circular activities from a climate reporting perspective, helping with defining, tracking and reporting circular climate impacts.
This toolkit distills the lessons learned during the Med4Waste project and five other projects under the ENI CBC Med programme. It explores the state of play in the Mediterranean waste management sector, looking at challenges and bottlenecks. It uses this information to produce recommendations and policy guidelines for national, regional and local authorities.
Climacy is an Erasmus+ small-scale partnership which promotes environmental education and sustainability. It equips teachers, trainers and educators with the tools to educate students about sustainability, including circularity, and ways to tackle climate change.
This revised monitoring framework measures progress towards the circular economy considering the interlinkages between circularity and the EU’s climate neutrality goal, the zero-pollution ambition for a healthier and fairer planet, competitiveness, sustainability and securing materials supply.
The Circularity Assessment Tool enables you to evaluate your business or a product from a circular perspective. You can use various frameworks to help create a baseline overview of how your organisation is striving to adopt a circular approach.
The EU International Partnerships Academy (INTPA) is the European Commission’s free and public learning platform for development.
It offers an e-course and an introductory webinar to the circular economy that aim to strengthen your understanding of circularity, policy measures that accelerate the circular transition, and the opportunities arising for EU partner countries from the circular economy
The research project Assessing the social impacts of circular strategies in the apparel value chain is a collaborative 4-year research project supported by the Laudes Foundation. This document presents evidence of the social impact of the circular economy in the textiles and apparel value chain in India, Spain and the Netherlands.
Reducing the negative environmental impact caused by building processes and materials is an important element of circular construction. Sustainable construction applies to both public spaces (as it pertains to civil and hydraulic engineering) and the built environment (the construction of residential and non-residential buildings).
The Circular Benchmark Tool (CBT) enables regions to take stock of both their progress towards a circular economy and possible steps to improve their performance with a view to accelerating their transition to the circular economy.
