Short description:

the project team will work intensively to implement circular economy practices inspired by good practices in the construction sector of the consortium member countries. They will create a forum for many stakeholders from the construction industry to discuss and work on the most promising solutions (taking into account environmental, geopolitical and social factors occurring locally). The conclusions of the dialogues will be the basis for ongoing changes in national regulations on the re-use of materials in the construction sector. At the same time, CirCon4Climate will provide a reliable source of information on the recycling of construction materials and products, as well as the processing of raw materials used for their production. By promoting the idea of circular construction, the project will also contribute to the creation of more climate-neutral buildings.

This project is part of the European Climate Initiative (EUKI). EUKI is a project financing instrument by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). The EUKI competition for project ideas is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
