Role playing the Circular Economy

This role game is based on the example of municipal waste management and provides a simple but realistic insight in the challenges of integrated management at the local level. The aim is to show that sustainable solutions for the municipality require the involvement and the commitment of different local actors. 

Inspired by the efforts of UCLG members, the game presents the circular economy as a practice that promotes local and sustainable development while optimizing the use of resources. This effort can be directly linked to the Sustainable Development Goal 12: responsible production and consumption.
