Circular Cities – the V4 perspective

What is happening in Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, or Poland in terms of the circular economy? The Visegrád 4 region has lately seen a major development in the sustainability solutions on a municipal level. This conference aims to get participants acquainted with the recent development in the V4 major cities. The focus will be on lessons learned, challenges encountered, and plans ahead. Perfect opportunity to get inspired, network and become part of the circular transition!

Circular Cities Week is an annual, decentralized global event. In 2019, over 80 CEC Chapters signed up to organize workshops to identify opportunities and next steps to encourage the implementation of the circular economy in their cities. Around 30 CEC Chapters organized the workshop and the findings can be found in this the Circular Cities Week REPORT. This process included bringing in stakeholders from city governments, private and nonprofit sectors, and academia—and providing a multi-stakeholder call to action. This year, we are moving to an online format.

This year, more than ever, we need to work towards building resilient cities that recover from environmental, social and health crisis. We believe in the circular economy as a model that will help cities to become more resilient. The Circular Cities Week will take place in Oct. 26-Nov. 1, 2020), again alongside the UN World Cities Day.
