Demonstration, deployment and upscaling of circular systemic solutions in cities and regions (Circular Cities and Regions Initiative)

Objectives: The main objectives of this grant are to foster the implementation of the European Green Deal, particularly the 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP), by supporting the development of innovative circular solutions and business models across various sectors and value chains at local and regional levels. The program aims to enhance circularity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality and biodiversity, and promote the efficient use of local resources. It also seeks to facilitate widespread deployment and replication of circular systemic solutions, enhancing collaboration, knowledge transfer, and stakeholder engagement in circular and climate-neutral practices across cities and regions.
