ACT! Accelerating the Circular Transition: A new Paradigm for Society

The Netherlands aims to be carbon neutral, fossil-free and circular by 2050 -for our resource use to fall within planetary limits- and to be safe for the environment and our health. This ambition means we must transition to a ‘circular society’. With scientists, policymakers, environmental organisations, businesses and citizens, ACT! will co-create visions of a circular Netherlands. Using models to simulate how this circular society and transition might work, we will explore both manufacturing (furniture and electronics) and the construction and organisation of circular neighbourhoods. We will also co-design the systemic strategies needed to collaborate effectively on a just transition.
