Circular Cities for Nature

Protecting biodiversity through local and regional circular economy strategies

As global hubs of resource consumption and waste generation, cities are key actors in the transition towards consumption and production patterns that protect natural ecosystems and the services human life depends on. This report is a summary of peer exchange discussions and panels that took place at COP25 as part of the Global Platform for Sustainable Cities.

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.
