EU Green Week 2021 has chosen to focus on Zero Pollution for healthier people and planet. You are welcome to joint the virtual High Level Conference taking place on 1-4 June.
Reducing pollution goes hand in hand with achieving our climate neutrality and biodiversity objectives and will help to transform the EU into a clean and circular economy.
The Institute for Research in Circular Economy and Environment ”Ernest Lupan” (IRCEM) invites you to co-design the city of the future, a city capable of ensuring its survival and prosperity in the face of the increasingly severe conditions imposed by climate change and the high consumption of urban resources.
At the event "Resilient and sustainable cities: Circular Cities", over the course of two days, we will assess whether we need different urban behaviour or a different way of crafting public policies based on the principles of prediction and anticipation. You are invited to join the analysis of the concept of urban resilience, and to discuss what the future prospects of cities are in terms of their circular development.
Young people have an important role to play in the transition to a circular economy, both acting as a representative of consumers with different and higher expectations than the generations before them regarding sustainability, and as the face of innovative entrepreneurs aware of the limit of the current economic model and ready to rethink production and consumption habits as they enter the professional world.
