• Nature and scope of circular economy actions plans and policies when present, and/or nature and scope of connected policies and strategies (i.e. Smart City strategies, Resilient City strategies, Sharing City strategies, etc.);

• Core characteristics of policies mapped out, particularly in terms of sectors addressed, actions envisaged, actors involved, governance arrangements set in place, impact envisaged.

Purpose within the REFLOW journey: Set the baseline of the policy context, outlining strategic linkages between the circular pilot action and broader policy objectives.
