Mission & Interests

Goals: Circular Change (CC) - communication, consultancy, education, circular diplomacy - 4 pillars where we engage different international stakeholders in their systemic circular economy journeys. We act as transition brokers: focusing on the EU and Western Balkans, operating globally - from Nordic Countries to Latin America, bridging top-down bottom-up circular approaches, mapping stakeholders, and enabling them to connect to international organizations, access a network of CE experts and good practices. Orchestration of national circular economy roadmapping processes is one of our focus areas (references: Slovenia, Serbia, Chile, Montenegro, Kosovo, City of Ljubljana, BIOEAST Foresight Excercise). One of CC’s core competencies - the ability to connect circular economy expertise with strategic communication and creativity. Network governance and circular diplomacy are what we strongly promote. Some of the ongoing projects: Boost4Bioeast, PSLifestyle, Ecotopia & CE Summer School.

Following the publication of the new Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) for a Cleaner and More Competitive Europe by the Commission on 11 March, CC as one of the members of the ECESP Coordination Group (CG), shared views on the new CEAP, while also reflecting on the COVID-19 pandemic ravaging the world. #EU CE talk has been organized on the topic of PPWR in September 2023.
