Project description DEENESFRITPL Building a sustainable and climate-resilient European economy As climate change continues to be a global concern, Europe is taking steps towards a sustainable economy. To achieve this, the EU must meet new sustainability and low-carbon goals. The EU-funded CE2019 project aims to organise a conference that will enable the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient circular economy. The conference will focus on networking, information exchange and innovation. It will address the latest scientific knowledge and state of play in the circular economy. The goal is to better inform policy and boost the European economy by providing recommendations and sustainable solutions for the future.
