The Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) implements the circular economy across Europe's regions and cities
About us
The Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) is an initiative of the European Commission, launched by the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation as part of the EU Circular Economy Action Plan 2020. It aims to support Europe’s green transition by boosting circularity at local and regional level. The CCRI contributes to the policy objectives of the EU Green Deal, including the 2050 climate neutrality target, and the EU Bioeconomy Strategy. It is funded by Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, the EU’s research and innovation framework programmes. Combining knowledge sharing, technical and financial support, the initiative assists stakeholders across Europe’s cities and regions, including regional and local authorities, industry representatives, research and technology organisations and civil society. It provides comprehensive support over the whole life cycle of local and regional circular economy initiatives. Why get involved in the CCRI? Cities, regions and territorial clusters can benefit from: • facilitated knowledge sharing with other front-running cities and regions through various events; • easily actionable guidance for the development and implementation of Circular Economy Action Plans and Circular Systemic Solutions (CSS); • quick access to relevant resources to address knowledge or capacity gaps; • information about upcoming funding opportunities; • facilitated evaluation and monitoring of the implementation process of a CSS through a dedicated self-assessment tool; • greater opportunities for cooperation with and support from partner initiatives and organisations; • increased visibility for commitments and actions. Interested stakeholders who are not participating as Pilots or Fellows may also be able to participate in CCRI events.
