Circular Cities Frontrunner Group policy brief on accelerating the circular economy for a prosperous and competitive Europe
This policy brief supported by over 40 cities and networks, outlines nine proposals from 16 European circular frontrunner cities to strengthen EU circular economy policy. It is structured around three priorities: raising circular ambition, enabling local action and mobilising economic instruments. The brief draws on city experiences to offer practical recommendations and is intended to support the Circular Economy Act, Clean Industrial Deal and related EU policy processes.
