Takeaways from the Circular African Cities Forum hosted in Cape Town
In October this year, local government officials from eight African cities came together with the ICLEI Africa team to share what circular development means for their jurisdictions. The 3-day city exchange took place in Cape Town and involved a series of city engagements and workshops to understand the entry points for effective transitions to a circular economy in different African cities and to help articulate different visions for circular cities. Critical discussions revolved around policy processes and implementation in local government institutions, nature-based solutions for cities, sustainable public procurement, and leveraging data for evidence-based decision-making. Learn more about their key ideas as well as a few companies undertaking circular economy-related initiatives within Cape Town.
