The transformation from linear to circular economy is high on the European Commission’s agenda and a cornerstone of the EU Green Deal. Boosting circularity at the city level has manifold benefits: it makes mobility, waste management, and urban planning more sustainable. Circular cities are also better and more inclusive places to live in. The CSCP together with ICLEI, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Eurocities, UNEP, and other partners have developed the European Circular Cities Declaration.

Producing electronic and electrical equipment is a resource intensive industry. Besides production and manufacturing, electrical and electronic equipment also require electric energy in their use phase. The environmental and climate effects of electrical and electronic equipment have a lot to do with product lifetimes and obsolescence. This report, which provided the analytical underpinning for an EEA Briefing on the issue, describes the current system of electrical and electronic equipment from a European perspective – including production and consumption trends, insights on product lifetimes and obsolescence as well as environmental and climate pressures.
Call for Collaboration
The most vulnerable, and therefore the hardest hit by the Corona pandemic are developing countries. There, due to high levels of informality, lack of infrastructure, and poorer living conditions, the effects of the pandemic are felt way more severely. We must, therefore, enhance our international collaboration to support these countries not only in overcoming the present crisis, but also in strengthening their resilience for the future.
