FEATURED MEMBER
Medellín, Colombia
An ICLEI Member since 2013, Medellín is widely recognized for transforming its urban landscape through innovation and social inclusion, and has earned international acclaim for its efforts in sustainable mobility, green infrastructure, and climate resilience.
The city is also emerging as a leader in circular development in Latin America. Confronted with over 1,000 tonnes of daily waste (with plastics representing a major share), the city is pursuing reuse and returnability systems to reduce emissions and extend landfill lifespans. In collaboration with ICLEI and partners through the Circular City Labs project, Medellín developed a dedicated Roadmap on reuse and returnability that now serves as a core part of its Circular Economy Policy.
