Circular City Actions Framework – Bringing the Circular Economy to Every City

Novak, Marijana, Blake Robinson, Max Russell, Angelica Greco, Marion Guénard, Olga Horn, Burcu Tuncer, et al.. "Circular City Actions Framework – Bringing the Circular Economy to Every City". ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability. "n.d." https://circulars.iclei.org/...

A circular economy calls for collaboration among the public-, private, and third-sector (civil society) stakeholders and requires governments, businesses and communities to be creative and flexible.  A circular community promotes an equitable transition to sustainability across the urban space through multiple city functions and departments in cross-sectoral collaboration with research institutions, local businesses, and community residents.  The transition from a linear to a more circular economy offers cities the tools to support social equity, local job creation, public health, and community wealth.  In a circular economy, existing materials that were once used in a product’s original life cycle are recycled and reused while minimizing disposable waste and natural resource extraction.
