Circular Governance: Systems thinking for local government (SWYT)

Ideal for councillors and local government leaders, this interactive workshop introduces systems thinking and circular economy principles tailored to governance.

Participants will explore real-world examples, collaborate on policy ideas, and discover how their council fits within broader community and environmental networks. The session provides practical tools to identify strategic leverage points and embed circularity into decision-making.

Going beyond theory, this workshop enables staff to understand the interconnected nature of community challenges, ensuring policies address root causes rather than shifting problems elsewhere. You’ll learn how embedding systems thinking can help design future-proof policies and initiatives that deliver lasting value for your community.

Leave with a clear understanding of your council’s role in the circular economy and actionable next steps to accelerate sustainable, resilient governance.
