The Circular Economy in Cities: resources suite
A suite of resources for urban policymakers and change-makers.
Organisation: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Focus Area: The OECD provides a forum in which governments can work together to share experiences and seek solutions to common problems.
The OECD Economics and Governance of Circular Economy in Cities Programme aims to provide interested cities with an understanding of what the circular economycircular economyA systems solution framework that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution. It is based on three principles, driven by design: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials (at their highest value), and regenerate nature. is, how it can be implemented in practice, what the economic and governance challenges are, and explores policy solutions.
The Programme favours multi-stakeholder dialogues in cities and peer-to-peer learning for an efficient, effective and inclusive transition to a circular economy. Key circular indicators for policy-making and implementation are developed through a bottom up approach with cities and experts. It will provide a platform for knowledge-sharing across levels of government.
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation works to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. We develop and promote the idea of a circular economy, and work with business, academia, policymakers, and institutions to mobilise systems solutions at scale, globally.
