From December 2023, Think Tank AlterContacts has been conducting the fieldwork and academic research in the coastal areas of Mediterranean Europe on various aspects of the circular economy. As a result of this work, this report has been prepared under the title Towards Circular: Analysis of the Coastal Areas of Greece, Italy and Spain. It contains seventeen articles looking at the different aspects of sustainable development in coastal settlements through the lens of circular practices. We hope that the insights and findings on the state of communities, youth, tourism, fishing sector, and energy transition will aid policymaking at the EU and global level and contribute to the academic body of research. This report was officially released during the European Sustainable Development Week 2024.
