It is an international event featuring various initiatives dedicated to the circular economy and sustainable development. Among the side events you can find workshops, debates, meetings, expert panels and matchmaking sessions.

Circular Breakfast

During the meeting organised by the Norwegian Embassy to Poland and the Scandinavian-Polish Chamber of Commerce (SPCC), institutions involved in CE activities and representatives of partner organisations from Norway had the opportunity to share their experiences and learn about innovative solutions in the area of circular economy.

The Ministry of Climate and Environment, as the Operator of the Climate Programme implemented under the EEA Financial Mechanism, presented Polish-Norwegian partnerships in the field of CE supported under the pilot call Strengthened implementation of Circular Economy.

CE projects in the Climate Programme

There was very high interest in the CE call, which reflects the growing importance of the circular economy in Poland and the need for technological change. Project applicants were both public and private entities representing different sectors and industries, e.g. the food or construction sectors. This pilot call resulted in the selection of the five best projects, which are currently implemented:

• Expanding the existing bus wash building in accordance with the principles of the circular economy,
• Water-CE-management in practice,
• The circular economy in construction: eco-design of circular buildings,
• Decarbonization of construction sector,
• Sztum Circular Economy - Respond To The Contemporary Climate Challenges

Information on all our projects can be found in the Project Database of the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme.

Partnerships

Four of the above-mentioned initiatives are implemented in cooperation with partners from Norway and Iceland. This offers an opportunity to launch cooperation and strengthen partnerships between the countries in terms of managing raw materials in a more efficient way and achieving climate goals.
