PROJECTSRecognising the importance of circularity in achieving a sustainable, fair, green and productive transition, Let’s Go Circular fostered reflection and the development of concrete and impactful actions that contributed, at the local level, to the transition towards more circular economic systems in cities.
In this context, the project’s main objective was to develop Integrated Circular Economy Action Plans for the ten cities participating in the URBACT LET’S GO CIRCULAR! network.
At the local level, a Planning Group for Lisbon was established, bringing together key stakeholders in a collaborative and participatory process. Through this approach, fundamental issues for a robust circular transition were addressed, contributing to the broader effort to tackle climate change.
The main areas of intervention included:
- Embedding circular principles within city administration, namely through the promotion of sustainable construction practices, the adoption of more circular public procurement procedures, improved efficiency in the use of raw materials, and the resulting reduction of waste generation and material losses;
- Industry and commerce, with a focus on improving value chain efficiency, promoting sustainable and durable products, and enhancing resource conservation;
- Civil society, through raising awareness among citizens and organisations and encouraging more sustainable behaviours in relation to consumption, mobility and sharing practices.
Lisboa E-Nova was the official partner representing the City of Lisbon in this URBACT network, working in close cooperation with the Municipal Directorate for Economy and Innovation of the Lisbon City Council to facilitate the process and develop the corresponding Action Plan.
URBACT is a European programme that promotes sustainable urban development through learning, knowledge exchange and the sharing of experiences among cities.
