The Eurométropole de Strasbourg is the representative body of 33 cities including Strasbourg. The ‘Euro-metropolis’ is a form of intercommunal cooperation based on financial solidarity and defence of shared interests.

Link to existing circular economy action plan
The strategical roadmap (adopted on 18 December 2019) and the underlying action plan, supported by the French Environment Agency ADEME, define their main orientations:
- It starts with us: introducing circular economy (CE) in public procurement and in internal processes at all levels.
- It includes the adoption of a framework for the promotion of socially and environmentally responsible procurement, as well as experiences such as buying reused furniture and electrical goods.
- Do better with less: doing our part in the transition towards a more efficient consumption of resources.
- Together, we go further: supporting local stakeholders towards a CE.
- CE is self-evident: developing and disseminating a common CE culture.
- It is possible, through internal learning schemes and knowledge and good practices sharing. The Eurométropole also takes part in local and regional working groups.
- Co-building permission: participatory governance that ensures flexibility and transparency. To implement CE, the directions and services of the local authority need to work together.

Other activities
The Pact – thinking about developing and building in Ecological Transition has been set up in 2020. It brings together 140 signatories among local public and private stakeholders involved in urban planning and citizens.
A monitoring tool implemented by the French Environment Agency, ADEME, will be used to make progress towards a CE. The Eurométropole de Strasbourg was one of the first local authorities to have obtained the ADEME label ‘Circular Economy Committed Territory’ when it was launched in 2020.

Key publications, policies, legislations and initiatives
In 2020, the local economic strategy ‘Pact for a local sustainable development’ was adopted. It aims at bringing all local stakeholders together towards a sustainable development.
It is intended to be a process of synchronisation of responsible approaches and local transitions (ecological, social, digital). The management of the Pact is based on several partnership bodies including an annual meeting of signatories and a Convergence Committee of the associated partners of the economic development.
There are more than 100 signatories to date, a quarter of whom have engaged in CE initiatives. A ‘Barometer of the local economy’ was also created out of a desire to provide the socio-economic actors of the territory with a tool for monitoring this transition.
