🌍 Key takeaways from #WCEF2024 Plenary Session by Belgian Presidency of the European Council: ▶ Decouple material extractions from growth for developed economies - Global Resource Outlook 2024 ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dfRnwJ_7 ▶ Evidence-driven policy: Data is crucial for effective decision-making. ▶ High-income countries bear significant material footprints - financial incentives must align with decoupling goals. ▶ Dematerialisation & sufficiency are pivotal for sustainability. ▶ Shift from ownership to service-based provisioning systems. ▶ Increased investment needed for Circular Economy business models. ▶ Consistent CE indicators are vital for accurate assessment. ▶ Urgency in CE progression calls for sufficiency, productivity, and provisioning targets. ▶ Demand-side push and business transition are essential - set clear targets. Let's accelerate the transition to a Circular Economy! #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #EU2030 🔄♻️

More on #WCEF2024 👉 Our #CircularPSP partner Circular Berlin, represented by Dina Padalkina, took part in the session 'Circular Hubs: Multilevel Approach Creating Impact in Practice'. "𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗵𝘂𝗯𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. The are to be understood as tools and catalysts that can empower local stakeholders to push the local transition further, implementing and spreading activities from #industrialsymbiosis, CE business acceleration, and #capacitybuilding. At a higher level, cross-regional exchanges and interaction among circular hubs are key to advance systemic change.” Our upcoming #CESolution will address this need by enabling flow of knowledge, communication and networking, between: 🔶 municipal staff and intermediaries within cities; 🔶 municipal staff and businesses within city and in regional ecosystem; 🔶 staff and intermediaries in different cities; 🔶 businesses within and beyond the city.

With #EarthDay just around the corner our next #EEAAskanExpert will focus on efforts to transform Europe’s largely linear, ‘throw-away’ economy into a circular one. How is Europe doing in moving to a #circulareconomy? What further actions are needed to get there? Join us THIS Friday for our online LIVE Q&A when we take your questions on this important issue!

The EU the policy framework supports the transition to a circular economy however, there is still work to do in 'getting the economics right'. This includes tax, incentives and the public sector playing an increasingly deeper role. Also, the finance sector plays a pivotal role in enabling such a transition. So, overall It's only by embracing a more #systemic, #holistic approach that change towards a more sustainable and equitable society can be brought about. " Some take-aways from Day 1 at #WCEF from Emanuela Vanacore, MBA, researcher at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, our #CircularPSP partner. (We had the pleasure to also meet colleagues and #CircularPSP followers from Finland!) The public sector is indeed crucial in the transition to a more circular economy at a speed and scale; and in order to leverage its potential all the actors in the ecosystem and value chain must collaborate closely.  More 🔗 https://circularpsp.eu/ #HorizonEU #PublicInnovation #CircularProcurement

Particularly relevant the afternoon session evaluating the European Union's advancements in the #circulareconomy commitment, mapping gaps and opportunities for the next legistation 🇪🇺 🔄 ACR+ | Association of Cities and Regions for sustainable Resource management Secretary General francoise Bonnet (also part of our CircularPSP #FollowersNetwork!), highlighted the critical role of cities and regions in decision-making processes, so that they can bring the key challenges of implementing Circular Economy in their territories on the table. Better understanding of #publicprocurement to promote green innovation & push the local economy, and the need for #upskilling and #reskilling public workers to work better and more effectively with the business sector have been highlighted as key challenges, and are at the core of our CircularPSP approach.  As follower of our project, you can get access to these insights, test our innovation solution and exchange with like minded organisations and cities! 💫 Curious?
