These documents provide essential information and a synthesis on the implementation of the circular economy in cities. They discuss instruments such as responsible production and consumption, extended producer responsibility, and the digital transition for accelerating this model at various levels (society, organizations, and territories). Additionally, they present an analysis of the primary conclusions and recommendations from national and international speakers on the theme of circular cities. These speakers participated in the XIII International Environmental Congress, titled “Circular economy: public policies, cooperation, innovation, and entrepreneurship”. The congress was organized by the Center for Studies for Sustainable Development, CEID Colombia, and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS), with the support of W2W and Global Zero Waste. The event took place on October 19 and 20, 2020.
