The city is facing increasing impacts from climate change, particularly higher temperatures and stronger urban heat island effects in dense neighbourhoods and school environments. In response, the municipality is already implementing a broader urban greening strategy and is seeking to accelerate this work by transforming vacant land and neglected spaces into new green living areas.  

The Agglomeration of Saint-Quentin is strongly engaged in ecological and social transition through its Climate Air Energy Plan, its Local Food Strategy and the development of a Social and Solidarity Economy strategy. While these planning tools already exist or are currently being updated, there is a need to accelerate implementation through concrete actions linking ecological transition and social economy.  

Municipalities are increasingly facing the combined impacts of climate change, rising energy costs, geopolitical crises and pressure on public services. At the same time, municipal staff are directly exposed to these challenges in their day-to-day work, whether in technical services, maintenance, public space management or administrative support.

Grand Chambéry is an urban community bringing together 38 municipalities and 140,000 inhabitants. Grand Chambéry is located on the border with the Alps, in the heart of the Alpine valley.

From Callosa de Segura (Spain), a city with a long and rich history in the fiber industry, we are spearheading the creation of the URBACT CROP-CIRCLE network. The network's name is a play on words combining "crop" and "circle" (circular economy), reflecting our goal of addressing a common European challenge: overcoming regulatory barriers to replace plastics and synthetic materials with biomaterials derived from traditional crops.

The "Daya Vieja Circular Waste Living Lab" project stems from the need for rural municipalities to overcome the inefficiencies of current waste management models. In the case of Daya Vieja, although a door-to-door collection system with user identification and a smart emergency area is already in place, the locality remains dependent on distant, centralized treatment plants. This results in a high carbon footprint and unsustainable logistical costs.
