Assess: Setting a baseline and guiding sectoral prioritization

Since circular development is a new concept for many local governments, it is not always easy to link it to city functions and goals. ICLEI collaborates with partners to create user-friendly tools that help local governments prioritize sectors for circular development interventions based on best practices and stakeholder inputs. We set cities up for long-term success by linking circular initiatives to other strategic goals, like local economic development and climate action, and monitoring progress toward achieving these goals.

Circle Lab for Cities

The Circle Lab for Cities program supports cities worldwide to take the next step in their circular journey through online and offline tools that support circular development planning and implementation at the local level. Through the Circle Lab for Cities program, cities can explore circular solutions implemented by their peers, scan their urban metabolism, and act to advance their transition to a circular economy in priority sectors. The program is funded by the MAVA Foundation and implemented by Circle Economy, ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, Metabolic, and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

Bogor Circular Economy Jobs

The Bogor Circular Economy Jobs project pilots a new circular jobs assessment methodology developed by ICLEI, UNEP, and Circle Economy. The project aims to first identify priority sectors for circular economy job creation in Bogor, Indonesia, and will subsequently conduct scenario modeling to build a set of policy recommendations for accelerating circular job creation and sustainable modernization in selected villages in Bogor.

About ICLEI Circulars

ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability is a global network working with more than 2500 local and regional governments committed to sustainable urban development. Active in 125+ countries, we influence sustainability policy and drive local action for low emission, nature-based, equitable, resilient and circular development.

Circular Development is one of ICLEI´s five strategic pathways towards sustainable urban development. Through the Circular Development pathway, local and regional governments decouple urban and economic development from resource consumption, encourage equitable access to resources and create closed-loop urban and peri-urban systems. They support new local economies that are productive and not extractive, where resources are exchanged and not wasted.

ICLEI Circulars is managed by the Circular Development Team at the World Secretariat (Bonn) in close collaboration with the ICLEI Regional Offices around the world.
