The workshop will take place on Monday, 29 June 2026, at NOVA School of Business and Economics, and it is endorsed as a related event of WCERE – The World Congress of Environmental and Resource Economists, which will follow the workshop.
Reflections on how circular economy modelling research can better inform policy for the transition to net-zero.
A dynamic afternoon exploring evidence-driven insights on climate mitigation contributions from circular economy strategies for construction – buildings, transport and energy infrastructure; services – housing and mobility; and system-wide enablers and impacts including digitalisation, behaviour change, and rebound effects.
The event was not only an opportunity to review progress and share research, but also to hold stakeholder workshops connecting the project team with external experts and policy actors.
Transitioning to a circular economy model, through the reuse of materials, sustainable construction practices, and improved renovation strategies, can play a key role in climate change mitigation and the reduction of environmental impacts.
Over the next few weeks, CircEUlar partners T6 and IIASA will be running a series of online stakeholder workshops. The aim of these events is to explore the future of the four focus areas in a more circular economy.
