Unlocking circular incentives: Hidden powers cities already have
Unlocking circular incentives: Hidden powers cities already have
May 18 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm CEST
Cities and regions across Europe are attempting to implement circular economy strategies. Numerous businesses and organisations are offering solutions to support them. And yet progress is slow.
Why? Insights from CCRI communities of practice have highlighted the problem: using linear rules, contracts and metrics to pursue circular outcomes. They’re potentially the right tools, but cities and regions need to unlock and re-align them for circular change to really begin
Unlocking Circular Incentives: The Hidden Power You Already Have is a hands-on online session about designing support measures for circular businesses that work in practice. The session includes real examples from Vienna and Hackney to spark discussion and exchange.
In just two hours, you’ll learn to examine and diagnose needs, processes and barriers so you can develop, propose and implement practical adjustments to existing tools – without adding new funding streams.
Who’s it for?
- Anyone already implementing circular strategies but facing challenges in delivery and uptake.
- City and regional practitioners working on circular economy, sustainability, procurement, waste management, economic development, or innovation.
- Public officials involved in contracts, budgeting, programme design or setting KPIs.
- Business support organisations, development agencies, and circular hubs working with SMEs
About the CCRI communities of practice
Over the past year, CCRI (Circular Cities and Regions Initiative) communities of practice have brought practitioners together to openly share what works, what doesn’t, and where they get stuck. This CCRI online workshop series builds directly on these insights, turning peer exchange into practical, hands-on sessions designed to help you move from ambition to concrete actions – no matter where you are in your transition.
The online workshops are coordinated by Climate KIC, ICLEI, Circular Flanders, and DG RTD
