[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The Strategy Framework has been developed by colleagues of the BME Department of Environmental Economics and Sustainability: Mariann Szab\u00f3, No\u00e9mi Csig\u00e9n\u00e9 Nagyp\u00e1l, \u00c1d\u00e1m Csuv\u00e1r, Gy\u00f6rgy \u00c1d\u00e1m Horv\u00e1th & Tibor Princz-Jakovics based primarily on the \u2018Synthesis report – Status quo assessment and needs analysis of our target groups\u2019 and \u2018Short synthesis reports on political framework conditions\u2019 of NiCE Partners (LP: UBA – German Environment Agency, Germany; PP2: ENVIROS, Czechia; PP3: StadtLABOR, Austria; PP4: Scientific Research Centre Bistra Ptuj, Slovenia; PP5: Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development, Italy; PP6: Research and Innovation Centre Pro- Akademia, Poland; PP7: Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary; PP8: Creative Industry Kos\u030cice, n.o., Slovakia; PP9: Municipality of Brzeg Dolny, Poland). The language review was done by Katalin K\u00e4sz, Head of Secretary, Certified Translator, BME Department of Environmental Economics and Sustainability.<\/p>\n The finalized Strategy Framework shows ways for the promotion and establishment of circular lifestyles in cities \/ city centres. It serves as guidance for local and regional public authorities that would like to enhance the implementation of circular lifestyle in their cities and regions.<\/p>\n The Strategy Framework is available on the official website of the NiCE project: https:\/\/www.interreg-central.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Strategy-framework-Nice.pdf<\/a>, as well as published on the webpage of the publisher, Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development, at: https:\/\/www.pubblicazioni.enea.it\/le-pubblicazioni-enea\/edizioni-enea\/anno-2024\/strategy-framework-to-enable-circular-lifestyles-in-cities.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n The development of the Strategy Framework is an important milestone in the three-year-long project, a crucial output of the first project year, and the result of a continuous and effective collaboration among all partners. The assessment of political measures, action plans, development plans, strategies and programmes that support circular lifestyles have been carried out in NiCE partner countries (Austria, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia & Slovenia)<\/em> as well as in pilot cities\/towns (Bologna and Porto-Saragozza district in Italy, Brzeg Dolny in Poland, Budapest and \u00dajbuda district in Hungary, City of Jihlava in Czechia, Graz in Austria, Ko\u0161ice in Slovakia, Ptuj in Slovenia and W\u00fcrzburg in Germany)<\/em> by interviewing political stakeholders and conducting desk research. Sustainable consumption patterns and supporting business models that play a role in the circular development of cities\/towns have been assessed on an urban level. Partners have analysed the needs and visions of their target groups (cities and initiatives\/providers of new business models, existing networks) to identify transnational challenges and potentials.<\/p>\n By the end of the preparatory phase (at the end of February 2024) a draft document of the Strategy Framework has been developed, suitable for discussion in the framework of a joint, hybrid Transnational Think Tank workshop with the involvement of political stakeholders and partners from the eight participating countries.<\/p>\n The workshop took place in a hybrid format on 6 March 2024, back-to-back with the Partner Meeting in Ko\u0161ice. The participants of the workshop included the consortium of NiCE, some associated partners (e. g. networks), representatives from NGOs and policymakers. During the workshop participants had the opportunity to listen to presentations about the political framework conditions and the research conducted in order to support the status quo assessment, the needs analysis of the target groups through the assessment the sustainable consumption patterns, and the circular business models in NiCE pilot cities. Besides the presentations, discussions were held in smaller groups, where the invited participants and experts could express their opinions about the Strategy Framework and discuss the drivers and barriers of circular lifestyles in cities. Participants got familiar with the SWOT analysis about circular lifestyle patterns in partner cities\/towns based on the research findings of the consortium partners, followed by a proposal and a discussion regarding the creation of a common statement (Mission Statement) for the project.<\/p>\n The final Strategy Framework for the promotion and establishment of circular lifestyles in cities\/ city centres thereafter is based on the identified<\/p>\n The Strategy Framework serves as guidance for local and regional public authorities and can be used e.g. by the cities of our pilots. It can be regarded as a living document that will be reevaluated and updated in the last period of the project.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3744″ img_size=”942×400″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-globe-asia” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.interreg-central.eu%2Fprojects%2Fnice%2F|target:_blank”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fab fa-facebook-f” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FNiCE.project.Interreg|target:_blank”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fab fa-instagram” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fprojectnice_%2F|target:_blank”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fab fa-linkedin-in” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fniceproject|target:_blank”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”1127″ disable_element=”yes” el_class=”main-paralax”][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”bg-black”][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Strategy Framework to enable circular lifestyles in cities [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We are happy to share that one of the outputs [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":3744,"parent":3741,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","inline_featured_image":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gtk.bme.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4468"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gtk.bme.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gtk.bme.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gtk.bme.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gtk.bme.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4468"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.gtk.bme.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4468\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4474,"href":"https:\/\/www.gtk.bme.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4468\/revisions\/4474"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gtk.bme.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3741"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gtk.bme.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gtk.bme.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.gtk.bme.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/NiCE_strategy_framework_cover.png\")
