INSPIRING ACTIONS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

This guide explores inspiring actions that a local government can take to accelerate the shift toward a sustainable, circular construction economy.

There are three ways to get started: start with your own role, assess where you stand, or determine which policy is the best fit. This will guide you to various actions. For some of these actions, you’ll also find a concrete real-world example.

Do you know of an inspiring example of circular construction policy, either in your community or elsewhere? Share it here, and we’ll include it as we expand our cases-database.
