Cities and regions play a fundamental role in the transition from a linear to a circular economy, as they are responsible for key policies in local public services such as transport, solid waste, water and energy that affect citizens’ well being, economic growth and environmental quality.
The OECD synthesis report “The Circular Economy in Cities and Regions” builds on the findings from 51 cities and regions contributing to the OECD Survey on the Circular Economy in Cities and Regions and on lessons learnt from the OECD Policy Dialogues on the circular economy carried out in Groningen (Netherlands), Umeå (Sweden), Valladolid (Spain) and on going in Glasgow (United Kingdom), Granada (Spain), and Ireland.
The report will be launched on the 4th of November in a virtual event.
