How we support cities

1. Technical Advisory

We provide expert guidance to help cities develop and implement policies, strategies, and governance frameworks that promote zero waste. This includes support for integrated waste planning, regulatory frameworks, and sustainable production and consumption strategies.

2. Tools and Practical Guidance

Cities gain access to templates, methodologies, and assessment tools that help evaluate waste flows, identify priority interventions, and track progress. These resources make it easier to design evidence-based solutions that address local challenges effectively.

3. Capacity Development and Learning

Through workshops, training programmes, and peer exchanges, we strengthen the skills and knowledge of government officials, industry actors, and communities. This empowers stakeholders to adopt circular economy approaches, implement sustainable practices, and foster behavior change.

4. Pilot and Implementation Support

We work alongside cities to test and implement solutions in key value chains, from waste prevention and recycling to chemical phase-out and eco-design initiatives. This hands-on support helps translate plans into tangible results.

5. Peer Exchange and Partnerships

Cities are connected to networks of other municipalities, technical experts, investors, and partners. These collaborations enable sharing of lessons learned, scaling of successful approaches, and access to financing and technical resources that accelerate the zero-waste transition.
