The Circular City Advisory (CCA) programmes are offered by the Circular City Centre - C3, a competence and resource centre at the European Investment Bank (EIB) that supports EU cities in their circular economy transition. The C3 is funded by the European Commission. The CCA programmes are designed to help cities take circular action and promote circular change, with a particular focus on supporting cities in identifying and preparing circular projects and securing financing for their implementation.
The Circular City Advisory comprises three different programmes adapted to the level of circular transition a city has reached, ranging from early-stage exploration of circular principles to preparing circular projects for financing and implementation. The three CCA programmes are outlined below.
C3 supports cities in four different ways:
- By mobilising EU cities through awareness raising activities to help them understand and embrace the benefits of the circular economy
- By offering guidance documents and tools to help cities take circular action
- By delivering Circular City Advisory (CCA) programmes to support cities in their circular transition, from developing circular economy strategies to preparing circular projects for financing and implementation
- By helping cities to prepare circular projects and improve their access to financing via Circular Project Advisory (CPA) support
