Supporting cities in sustainable biobased systemic change
Updated on 21.06.2024
This project aims to develop biobased circular economy on system and stakeholder levels in cities. The focus is especially on increasing city-level actions and involving the community in understanding the importance of regional material, fertilizer and energy flows. The goal is to develop knowledge, policies and practices on biobased circularity with a focus on biowaste management at the system and community levels.
Relevance for Circular Systemic Solutions
This project can serve as an example and inspiration for cities and regions working on CSSs related to bioeconomy, specifically in stakeholder involvement and practical information sharing. The project website provides examples of good practices to help users explore inspiring and tested policy solutions identified by partners of the project. This can help other cities and regions working on bioeconomy projects in the Map and Design phases of CSS deployment.
