CCRI-CSO | Methodology for the implementation of a circular economy at the local and regional scale

The CCRI-CSO is launching the CCRI Methodology, a reference document that provides policy- and decision-makers with operational guidance to accelerate the development and implementation of Circular Systemic Solutions at the local or regional level. The document organises existing guidance on circular economy implementation in cities and regions into a modular, systematic, and actionable methodology.
 
The methodology distinguishes between three main phases that reflect the maturity level of cities and regions with respect to their circular solutions. These are: map the territory and understand its metabolism; design the circular systemic solution; and implement the circular systemic solution. The document also showcases a list of Circular Systemic Solutions implemented in Europe that can serve as a source of inspiration for cities and regions that have just started their circular transition.
