Projectdetails

Introduction

A network coordinated by the Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) is preparing a proposal for a project to accelerate the implementation of the Strategic Programme to Promote a Circular Economy. The overarching goal of the Circular Finland LIFE SIP (CircLIFE) project will be a systemic change towards a circular economy at both national and regional levels in Finland. This Planning of the Circular Finland LIFE SIP project (CircLIFE TA) seeks to ensure high-quality preparation of the final strategic LIFE SIP project.

Background

In the Strategic Programme to Promote a Circular Economy, Finland has set targets to curb the use of natural resources. Steps have already been taken in heading towards a circular economy. Yet, reaching the targets and implementing the programme require several long-term changes.

Required Changes

These changes include:

  1. Changes in consumption and production patterns
  2. Changes in finance and policy

To speed up the change, the strategic CircLIFE project will focus on five transformation themes identified through a comprehensive collaborative process and research-based scenario work.

Transformation Themes

The themes include:

  • Resource-wise built environment
  • Industry based on a circular economy
  • Sustainable consumption and business models
  • Material-efficient energy system
  • Renewing food system

The consortium of the LIFE SIP project will be built to represent these five themes in a comprehensive manner.

Project Structure

This CircLIFE TA project consists of three work packages:

  1. Management and coordination
  2. Creating the content and writing the stage 1 proposal
  3. Creating the content and writing the stage 2 proposal

In practice, the TA project involves recognizing and engaging the relevant national actors to form the project consortium, designing the overall intervention logic for the project, elaborating the complementary funding plan, and planning the practical implementation.

Timeline

The project seeks to finalize the stage 1 proposal in the autumn of 2025 and the stage 2 proposal in the spring of 2026.
