Cities and regions have a key role to play as promoters, facilitators and enablers of circular economy. Adequate economic and governance conditions should be in place to unlock its potential. This publication highlights the role of cities in circular economy and recommendations to unlock the potential for circular economy in cities.

This White Paper attempts to highlight innovative solutions applying circular principles to up-cycle waste from existing buildings, infrastructure and construction, harvest rainwater for reuse, generate clean and resource-efficient energy, treat medicinal waste, as well as procurement of goods and services. This paper also emphasizes the need for a multisector and multistakeholder approach for this mindset transition towards a circular economy, and the need for integrated action over the long-term in different areas of local administration.
