As the organizations behind this dashboard, we aim to provide structured indicators to measure key aspects of circularity—such as resource efficiency, waste reduction, and circular jobs—alongside on-the-ground case studies that highlight innovative local initiatives. This approach helps policymakers, businesses, and communities assess progress, address challenges, and accelerate Friesland’s transition to a circular economy. In doing so, Friesland is working toward meeting the national goal of reducing primary resource use by 50% by 2030 and achieving a fully circular economy in the Netherlands by 2050.\n\nBeyond Friesland, this dashboard is designed as a replicable tool that can be implemented in other regions worldwide. By fostering comprehensive comparisons, it enables knowledge sharing and collaboration, allowing regions to learn from one another and scale successful strategies. In addition to tracking current trends, the monitor offers forward-looking recommendations to drive circular development—both within Friesland and beyond—helping to create a more sustainable global economy.\n\nThis case study collection supports the dashboard, in showcasing circular economy projects and initiatives already occurring in the region.","https://kh-assets.prod.circularity-gap.world/org-profile-avatar/1778094707859-Jz1-JDKW.png","https://kh-assets.prod.circularity-gap.world/org-profile-avatar/1778094709100-6NyKEk3z.png",false,"ce",{"id":138,"type":140,"owner_id":141,"about":142,"job_title":15,"url":15,"linkedin":15,"email":15,"staff_of_id":15,"organisation_id":138,"owner":143,"organisation":146,"profile":148},"organisation","56NcOv","",{"first_name":144,"last_name":145},"Circle","Economy",{"name":147},"Circle Economy",{"link":149},"https://kh-assets.prod.circularity-gap.world/org-profile-avatar/HiKR8W326OYvfBij.jpg",[],[],[],{"total":154,"byType":155},56,{"business_case":156,"policy_case":157,"blog":158,"resource":158,"report":158},37,19,0,[160,183,198,213,227,241,257,272,286,300],{"id":161,"type":162,"cta":15,"cta_link":15,"created_at":163,"updated_at":164,"owner_id":165,"owner_relationship":166,"views":167,"owner":168,"image":170,"article_locations":174,"article_industries":175,"view_count":167,"like_count":158,"collection_count":176,"content":177},"30640","policy_case","2025-04-28T19:53:18.399Z","2026-05-08T00:16:44.425Z","Tbtf7b","collaborator",2,{"id":165,"type":169,"owner_id":165,"about":15,"job_title":15,"url":15,"linkedin":15,"email":15,"staff_of_id":15,"organisation_id":15,"organisation":15},"user",{"id":171,"link":172,"alt":15,"source":15,"created_at":163,"updated_at":173,"article_id":161,"image_profile_id":15,"banner_profile_id":15},"dwL3EPh7s0E=","https://kh-assets.prod.circularity-gap.world/main-image/1778094806211-elTOTpO1.jpeg","2025-05-14T11:00:25.093Z",[],[],1,{"id":178,"score":158,"body":179,"status":182,"article_id":161,"created_at":163,"updated_at":173,"published_at":163},"xQXm",{"title":180,"summary":181},"Cooperating for perspective in Leeuwarden's most colourful district","\u003Cp>Leeuwarden East is one of the most vibrant and diverse areas of the city. It is home to five distinct neighborhoods: Oud-Oost, Bilgaard, Vrijheidswijk, Heechterp-Schieringen, and Camminghaburen. Each has its own identity, character, and deep-rooted sense of community. Many residents have lived here for generations and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. They value the green spaces, the street art, the sense of belonging, and the friendly atmosphere that define their neighborhoods. At the same time, Leeuwarden East faces challenges. Generational poverty, limited access to education, health disparities, and unemployment have shaped the lives of many. These are not new problems, but they believe now is the time for real change. Not just by talking, but by doing together with the people who live here. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cimg src=\"https://kh-assets.prod.circularity-gap.world/content-image/1778094806779-xI9IouNW.webp\">\u003C/p>\u003Cp>That’s the goal of the Leeuwarden East, a twenty-year commitment to make Leeuwarden East a place where everyone has the chance to thrive. A place where you can live in a clean, safe neighborhood; where you can afford a good home, get a quality education, find meaningful work, and grow old in good health. Most importantly, a place where every voice matters. This ambitious program is built on strong foundations. Nearly 50 local organizations, institutions, and public partners have come together to create a shared vision for the future. What makes this program different is its scale, its depth, and its long-term focus. They’re not just aiming to improve what already exists —it's about working toward breakthroughs that can shift entire systems. Innovation, collaboration, and perseverance are at the heart of the approach. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>The work focuses on five key themes: learning, working, living, health, and safety. But instead of treating these themes as separate issues, they are addressed as parts of one whole: the quality of life of the people in Leeuwarden East. The ambition for each theme is as follows: \u003C/p>\u003Cp>- Learning: Residents experience opportunities to continue developing themselves in order to reach their full potential and make optimal use of their capabilities; \u003C/p>\u003Cp>- Working: In twenty years, no young people will be left behind; they will either have paid employment or participate in other ways that are valuable to them and the neighborhood; \u003C/p>\u003Cp>- Living: People consciously choose to live or remain in Leeuwarden East because of the affordability and quality of the living environment; \u003C/p>\u003Cp>- Health: Residents of Leeuwarden East have the same opportunities to grow up and grow old in good health as all the other residents of Leeuwarden; \u003C/p>\u003Cp>- Safety: Safety in Leeuwarden East will contribute to improved livability, social cohesion, and the future of its residents. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cimg src=\"https://kh-assets.prod.circularity-gap.world/content-image/1778094807209-c8t_LapA.webp\">\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Throughout all of this, an inside out approach is used. That means listening to the residents, working alongside them, and ensuring that their experiences and insights shape the plans. These neighborhoods are not blank slates - they are places full of potential, history, creativity, and resilience. They want to strengthen what’s already strong, and support what needs change. Leeuwarden East is a long-term commitment. It’s not about quick fixes, but about meaningful, lasting transformation. Together with the people who live here, and with partners across every level of society, a future is created where everyone can look forward with hope, purpose, and pride. \u003C/p>","published",{"id":184,"type":162,"cta":15,"cta_link":15,"created_at":185,"updated_at":186,"owner_id":165,"owner_relationship":166,"views":158,"owner":187,"image":188,"article_locations":191,"article_industries":192,"view_count":158,"like_count":158,"collection_count":176,"content":193},"30639","2025-04-28T19:49:41.531Z","2025-05-13T08:21:19.580Z",{"id":165,"type":169,"owner_id":165,"about":15,"job_title":15,"url":15,"linkedin":15,"email":15,"staff_of_id":15,"organisation_id":15,"organisation":15},{"id":189,"link":190,"alt":15,"source":15,"created_at":185,"updated_at":186,"article_id":184,"image_profile_id":15,"banner_profile_id":15},"9wXbku_7Tg4=","https://kh-assets.prod.circularity-gap.world/main-image/1778094805453-FZXMNpZz.jpeg",[],[],{"id":194,"score":158,"body":195,"status":182,"article_id":184,"created_at":185,"updated_at":186,"published_at":185},"gQjl",{"title":196,"summary":197},"The

To realize these goals, the region’s educational institutions are committed to more than just delivering qualifications—they aim to cultivate resilient, engaged individuals who contribute meaningfully to both the regional economy and society. Central to this vision is a focus on accessible, high-quality, and future-oriented education that supports personal growth and lifelong learning for all residents, regardless of age, background, or educational level.
