The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Programme on the Circular Economy in Cities and Regions and the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) of the European Commission are investigating: the state of the art of the circular economy in cities and regions in the European Union (EU); the territorial deployment of EU circular economy policies and plans (e.g. the European Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan); the challenges and the opportunities to accelerate the transition from a linear to a circular economy.

Results of the Survey will inform the flagship OECD report on “The Circular Economy in EU cities and regions”, to be launched in April 2025 at the 7th OECD Roundtable on the Circular Economy in Cities and Regions.

The OECD Programme on the Circular Economy in Cities and Regions aims to support national and subnational governments in their transition towards the circular economy through evidence-based analysis, multi-stakeholder dialogues, tailored recommendations and customised action plans.

The Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) of the European Commission (DG Research and Innovation) supports the implementation of circular systemic solutions in EU cities and regions, as well as the development of new circular business and governance models. It offers capacity-building and peer-learning activities, including thematic working groups and webinars. It also provides funding for demonstration projects as well as project development assistance (in the form of grants under the Horizon Europe programme).
