ACR+, the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform, Holland Circular Hotspot, Circular Change and Ecopreneur.eu organised the #EUCircularTalks session: Network governance - What role for the circular transition brokers? - A World Circular Economy Forum 2022 Accelerator Session. The session focused on the role of network governance: building a coalition of partners willing to contribute to transformational changes will promote the implementation of circular economy roadmaps at national and local levels. One of the main objectives of the session was to present and discuss the role of transition brokers in accelerating circular initiatives.
