Testing Circular Economy solutions for the green transition of the Mediterranean area

 

Σύντομη περιγραφή

CircleMED aims to convert the Euro-Med area into circular economy based territories, accelerating the diffusion of circular and climate-neutral practices and the green transition of the local civil, industrial and institutional systems. It points at reconciling our economies and human activities with the planetary boundaries. CircleMED’s integrated and systemic approach targets all the four helix stakeholders to promote the transition process to circular and sustainable production and consumption models, stimulating awareness and testing innovative circular solutions working closely with citizens, policy makers, business support organisations, academia, research entities and additional stakeholders, sharing knowledge and responsibilities for the green transition. Key elements CircleMED stress on are those considered fundamental for sustainable development: economic prosperity, environmental protection and social equity, balancing them to benefit current and future generations, targeting the three dimensions of citizens, SMEs and policy makers. CircleMED could be considered an evolutionary innovative project, testing solutions that already exist, but that have never been used together. It focuses on promoting circularity and testing resource efficiency particularly through an innovative circular assessment tool for SMEs, the creation of a transnational network of territorial circular hubs and the elaboration of plans for transferability of results in the whole Mediterranean area. The project aims at redesign, repair, reuse and recycle as driving scheme leading citizens, institutions and companies’ choices to a resource-efficient and competitive economy, further developing and scaling up circular approaches, methodologies and strategies easily adaptable to any kind of territory.
