2023-2024 Circular Building Coalition

  • Along with supporting the growth of CLTs, we want to help them deepen their impact – supporting the delivery not just of community-led and affordable homes, but of circular homes and lifestyles, too. Our impact objective for this work is to enable and promote CLTs across Europe to become regional drivers in the transition to a circular built environment in terms of circular buildings and circular lifestyles.
