After a short thematic introduction, cities from different world regions presented how they have been implementing a specific or multiple R-strategies (Rethink, Regenerate, Reduce, Reuse, and Recover).
Moderated by Ying-Chih Deng-Sommer (Officer Circular Development, ICLEI World Secretariat), a number of topics were discussed during the session, including the importance of circular economy, the World Green Building Council, health and wellbeing, the human rights in the built environment or digital tools.
There was also time to hear about specific cases, like the Mandaluyong City (Philippines), trough the conference "Implementation of Green Building Regulations of Mandaluyong City", managed by Abraham Raposon Jr.
In addition to him, the following panellists participated in the session:
Finally, participants had the opportunity to ask questions and exchange learnings in a 30 minute Q&A.
The Circular City Actions Framework is a set of five complementary strategies cities can use to start working towards a more circular system. These strategies (the 5Rs: Rethink, Regenerate, Reduce, Reuse, and Recover) address the different roles that local and regional governments play, from public service delivery to cooperation with local stakeholders, asset management, urban planning and regulation.
They can be applied to all production, consumption and waste management processes influenced by the city or its residents. The Actions Framework was developed by ICLEI, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Circle Economy and Metabolic.
This webinar series will showcase how the Circular City Actions Framework can be applied to different sectors at the local level through concrete cases from cities of different world regions.
This webinar series is funded by the MAVA Foundation and implemented by ICLEI in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
