About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Are you ready to rethink what “clean, competitive, and circular” really means in the EU context?

Are you working at the intersection of climate policy, sustainability, and social justice?
Register now for "The 3Cs of Circularity: Who’s Really Winning?" — a high-level hybrid event hosted by Generation Climate Europe (GCE) as part of EU Green Week 2025.

Join a diverse community of youth advocates, policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and civil society to critically explore the real impacts of Europe’s circular economy ambitions — from the Circular Economy Act to the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA).

Interrogate assumptions. Spark new dialogue. Co-create just solutions.

This in-person event offers more than just discussion — it’s a collaborative and creative space where perspectives meet and narratives are challenged:

  • Engage with an opening keynote and live audience poll setting the stage on circular economy narratives.
  • Watch a thought-provoking talk that sheds light on policy blind spots and ground the discussion in lived realities.
  • Join a fishbowl-style debate, “How circular means fair?”, where experts and youth alike step into the ring to challenge policy assumptions and propose fairer alternatives.
  • Contribute to the development of GCE’s 2025 Youth Manifesto on Raw Materials, a key input to future EU dialogues.

This session is designed to foster intergenerational dialogue, encourage evidence-informed critique, and centre equity in the transition to a circular economy.

Limited seats available – register now to attend and help shape the future of Europe’s green transition.
