New report: Circular Cities and Regions Pilot Solutions: Insights, impacts, and replication paths

From 2023 until 2025, the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative has supported 12 European cities and regions to test what it really takes to turn circular economy ambition into practical, local and systemic solutions. Their examples in developing Circular Systemic Solutions (CSS) across various sectors and focus priorities, form the foundation of this booklet.
