ECESP: A Lighthouse for Circular Collaboration in Europe and Beyond

With our expression of interest submitted for the next Coordination Group of the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (ECESP), we are reaffirming our strong commitment to shaping Europe’s circular future. ECESP — a flagship initiative of the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee — serves as a “network of networks,” uniting changemakers from policy, business, research, and civil society to co-create circular solutions.

For the past 8 years, Circular Change has been part of this journey, with our founder Ladeja Godina Košir serving three consecutive terms as Chair and Co-chair of the platform. Through her leadership, ECESP has become a trusted space for collaboration, circular diplomacy, and impact, bridging local actions with global ambition, from the Western Balkans to Latin America and Asia.

The next Coordination Group (2025–2028) will mark an important new chapter. One that calls for more diversity, intergenerational dialogue, and systemic impact. We stand ready to continue contributing, bringing forward our experience, values, and strong network to help position ECESP as a true lighthouse for global circular collaboration.
