D2 Circular economy
Cities and the levers put in place at the local level must play a role in accelerating the transition to a circular economy while consolidating social and solidarity development. This session will present exemplary projects of successful transformation originating from various sectors of intervention (electronic waste or construction, design / textile, food systems, and the sharing economy).
