Cities are primary centres of consumption of energy and materials, but at the same time offer an opportunity to manage resources efficiently and in innovative ways. As such, Cities can play a key role in driving the circular economy agenda forward, and many are doing just that.
In this episode of "One World Zero Waste? The Circular Economy Explained", we hear about the role of local governments in experimenting with circular economy approaches, with insights from Sofie Bracke, Deputy Mayor for Economy, Trade, and Port of the city of Ghent in Belgium. UNECE's Gulnara Roll also shares perspectives on cicularity challenges and opportunities in cities across the pan-European region and highlights the role of the United Nations in supporting concrete efforts in urban areas.
