Porto's “Roadmap to a circular city”

Porto has developed a “Roadmap to a circular city” plan which sets out its ambitions for a circular transition across a number of themes including the food system. The responsibility for implementing this plan sits with the Environmental Planning and Management Department but many otherdepartments are key stakeholders, including the Green Structure Municipal Office. The strategy is structured around four areas; production and consumption, natural resources and environmental balance, circular constructions and sharing resources and waste prevention and management. While these themes are linked to eight of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there are also clear links with relevant European and National policies, directives and targets. Porto reports its progress through many mechanisms including voluntary commitments (Circular Cities Declaration, Carbon Disclosure Project), and local and national statutory reporting.
