The Declaration is open to any European local or regional government to sign

Signing the Circular Cities Declaration offers many benefits to cities and regions. Signatories will become part of a powerful, unified group of cities that will help raise awareness of the long-term political, societal, environmental and financial benefits of the circular economy, and contribute to the development of a supportive political framework.

Other benefits include:

• International profiling and a platform to showcase activities globally through print, online media and/or key events     
• Sharing and developing capabilities with like-minded cities to implement a circular economy
• Accessing advice and support in the development of a circular economy
• Opportunities for city-to-city cooperation to push rapid and effective implementation on the ground
• Demonstrating leadership and commitment at the sub-national level to a productive, liveable and resilient Europe
