European Circular Cities Declaration

Updated on 19.09.2023

The European Circular Cities Declaration (ICLEI) is designed to help accelerate the transition from a linear to a circular economy (CE) in Europe. In doing so, ICLEI aims to create a resource efficient, low carbon and socially responsible society. 

Target audience: EU initiatives
Countries: European Union, Albania, Türkiye, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Activities on circular economy

The European Circular Cities Declaration is focused on the following circular economy principles and actions: 
 

  • Allow local and regional governments across Europe to communicate their commitment to supporting the circular transition. 
  • Provide a shared vision of what a ‘circular city’ is. 
  • Underline the critical role that local and regional governments need to play in making circular transition happen. 
  • Establish a community of committed organisations to share their experiences, challenges and successes.
