Circular transition at local level is the key first step towards a comprehensive Circular Economy (CE), as it allows a “system change” that integrates the production & consumption side at manageable scale. However, concrete practices for this are still rare in the BSR. Cultural and Creative Sectors & Industries (CCSI) can be both facilitators of circular consumption and frontrunners for circular production: As a social force, they have great influence on the mind sets of people and can promote “circular lifestyles”. At the same time, they are a business field with high innovation potential that can support circular business models. CCSI, therefore, can be drivers for a comprehensive circular transition at the local level. CCC initiates a transnational co-creation process, in which 6 demo cities will jointly develop & test CCSI-driven approaches for an integrated circular transition. In each of them, local authorities, business support organisations and NGOs team up to > launch enabling environments for CCSI-driven circular transition, > help businesses to create CCSI-supported circular business models, > promote “circular lifestyles” with CCSI assistance. The results are processed into a “CCC Starter Kit”. It gives interested actors in other BSR cities concrete guidance to involve CCSI into circular transition and is pro-actively disseminated to them. A “CCC Policy Roadmap” facilitates dialogue with policy makers on potentials of the approach & support needs.
