Despite their potential to reduce carbon emissions and waste while enhancing economic resilience, circular economy projects often struggle to develop compelling business cases to secure funding. This session, organised by the Circular Investment Readiness Network (CIRN), delves into how circular projects can leverage impact measurement practices and alignment with EU regulations to attract investments.

Join the Circular Investment Readiness Network on April 17th from 8.30 to 10.00 to be inspired by real-world success stories from project owners and investors and take part in interactive discussions led by circular economy experts. You can participate online or in Brussels at ICLEI's office, Rue du Luxembourg 19-21.

This event is an accelerator session at the World Circular Economy Forum 2024.
