The Declaration

The Circular Cities Declaration is a commitment document from cities and regions to use the levers at our disposal coherently across the organisation to transition from a linear to a circular economy. We believe that:

We need to decouple economic growth from resource use

Local and regional governments have a critical role to play

A common vision of a circular economy is a useful journey guidance
