About Us
The Circular City Coalition (CCC) partners with cities and community-based organizations to accelerate systemic change toward a regenerative and equitable future.
The CCC, recognized as a Fast Company 2023 World Changing Ideas Awards winner and a selected Clinton Global Initiative Commitment, is a coordinating platform for driving rapid and equitable economic transitions in cities.
Comprising four core partners with extensive experience in urban work, community agency building, and science-driven economic systems change, the Coalition has facilitated multi-stakeholder programs in over 120 countries. Presently, it collaborates with over 200 cities to implement large-scale decarbonization initiatives across urban economies, partnering with governments, businesses, and communities. It is also a designated portfolio transformation of the Systemic Climate Action Collaborative.
