The Coordination Group (CG) of the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (ECESP) met for the third time on 17 October 2019 in Brussels. At this meeting, the CG re-elected the Founder and Director of Circular Change Ladeja Godina Košir as its Chair for 2020.

After the election, Ladeja emphasized ECESP’s role as the “network of networks” and connector of different stakeholders, who offers a structure for creating and spreading positive messages for transforming the economy in to a more socially and environmentally sustainable form.

She added that: "It was an exciting honour to be able to contribute to systemic change as first chairwoman of this group accelerating the circular transition. I am honoured again to have regained your confidence and hope that in the coming year, we will continue sharing and disseminating knowledge to bring about concrete change."

CG members subsequently reviewed activities for 2019, including, inter alia, the 4th Circular Change Conference in Maribor, newly launched Consumer Insight Action Plan, and research mapping Circular Economy networks in Europe. They also discussed repositioning the structure and objectives of the Platform in view of the new European Parliament and incoming European Commission, as well as linking with other initiatives in the field of biodiversity, industrial policy and climate objectives. The incoming President of the European Commission, Ursula van der Leyen, has already stressed that the Second Circular Economy Action Plan will be an important part of the so-called "Green New Deal" and a key driver for achieving a Europe without pollution.

Focusing on next steps, the CG held an exchange of views on how to jointly engage policy-makers and collaborate more internally.
