Entrepreneurs Track 2: Circular Economy Opportunities In The Mediterranean Cities (Part 1)
Circular economies derive social and environmental benefits by considering product life cycles holistically, from production and consumption to waste management and markets for secondary raw materials. Cities that embrace the principles of the circular economy can reap these benefits and at the same time help to foster resilient and prosperous communities. Participants will learn about cities that are leading the way in this domain, see concrete examples of circular economy solutions being applied in cities in the Mediterranean, and come away with knowledge to inspire them to think about how to bring these solutions to their own cities. This session is organised by Alfredo Balmaceda, ZICLA, and Yair Engel, EPEA Cradle to Cradle, with a keynote by Francoise Bonnet, ACR+, and interventions from the European Commission, the City of Barcelona, and the Palestinian Housing Council, amongst others.
