ECESP Coordination Group plans 2021

Circular economy stakeholders in action! Coordination Group meeting, chaired by Ladeja G. Košir was filled with ambitious, actionable, inclusive, and collaborative plans for the ECESP CG members.

The introductory note by the Director-General of DG ENV, Florika Fink-Hooijerreminded, reminded us that transition to circular economy must be addressed together. To accelerate implementation of CE business models, circular behavior, and just explaining to all stakeholders – what’s in it for me?

Leadership groups are leaping forward with ambitious agenda from skills development for multi-stakeholders with focus in electronics in Retail, Consumers and Skills group, circular procurement, to food waste and resource efficiency in Bioeconomy, Food systems and Food waste group, to circular infrastructure and renovation wave in Construction and infrastructure group, circular design and EPR in Textiles, to network governance for circular economy and much more!

Synergies will be explored with the upcoming Commission initiatives: The Climate Pact (DG Clima), Global Alliance for Circular Economy and resource efficiency GACERE (DG Env) and Circular Cities & Regions Initiative CCRI (DG RTD).

And the closing call to action! Freek van Eijk of Holland Circular Hotspot invited to join forces for Dubai EXPO 2020, where the sustainability and circularity, creativity and innovation will be on the priority list of majority of countries.
