To mark its 30th anniversary, ACR+ launched a photo contest themed "Capturing Circularities in Cities and Regions". You can see the winning and runner-up photos here.
ACR+ and a coalition of cities, regions, environmental authorities, national ministries, and partners of the Urban Agenda Partnership for Greening Cities, have issued a call for the urgent adoption of the EU Nature Restoration Law
The Football Association of Wales has introduced its new action plan, aiming to challenge current matchday mobility principles and improve waste management. This initiative is part of the broader ACCESS project, with various sports organisations publishing similar plans
A new carbon metric report from ACR+ member Zero Waste Scotland shows that clothing is contributing more to climate change than plastic. Clothing is the most environmentally damaging type of household waste, accounting for nearly a third (32%) of the carbon impacts of Scotland’s household waste despite making up only a small proportion, by weight (4%). Yet only a tiny proportion of Scots are aware, with nearly two-thirds saying plastic is the worst offender.
Now, Zero Waste Scotland is teaming up with creative partners, from online influencers to street artists, to highlight the extent of the problem and incite citizens to question our consumption of clothing. They include The Rebel Bear, who has created two largescale public artworks based on world-famous paintings in two Scottish cities.
