Details

The webinar “From citizen participation to local action: How cities pilot circular economy actions to fight urban waste” will take place as part of the European project UrbanWINS on 12 September 2018 at 15.00-16:30 (CET).
UrbanWINS is a European project funded by the Research and Innovation Program Horizon 2020 that studies how cities consume resources and products, and how they eliminate the waste produced. This is done to develop and test innovative plans and solutions aimed at improving waste prevention and management.
The 3rd UrbanWINS webinar is all about cities’ experiences in selecting and implementing innovative circular waste management policies. We zoom in on the UrbanWINS pilot cities Torino and Leiria and will hear about their activities on the ground:

From participation to local action – Piloting citizen driven urban waste management, with Keynotes from Laura Ribotta, Torino, Italy, and Margarida Morais, Leiria, Portugal
Both Torino and Leiria are starting up pilot actions to tackle issues of urban resources management – actions which have been co-created with citizens during participatory sessions, the Urban Agoras. We will hear from both how these pilot actions are rolled out and what other cities can learn from their approaches to circular economies.

During the second part of the webinar we will hear how cities can learn from each other:

The CityMatch experience: Cities learning from each other in urban resources management, Gianluca Luciani, Rome, and Philipp Tepper, ICLEI Europe
The participants of the UrbanWINS exchange program CityMatch are interviewed about their experience visiting a new city and learning directly from their colleagues about waste prevention and management and procurement. During this interview, we will hear how one-on-one exchange between waste management practitioners can benefit your organization and inspire innovative management strategies.
