League rules, procedures, scoring and so much more!

Introduction

Step into a new frontier of environmental action with the Global Climate League, where the focus is on the bioregional stage. Whether you're an individual, a company, a school, or a community group - everyone's invited to join this exhilarating venture.

Under the vast umbrella of the Global Climate League, 185 teams emerge, each representing a distinct bioregion on our planet. It's not just a league; it's a movement uniting people worldwide. Picture this: 5 theme-leagues, each with its own set of league-specific standings and a coveted championship.

Now, here's the magic - the teams aren't just made up of players; they encompass everyone in the bioregion contributing to activities related to the 5 key themes. It's a dynamic collaboration where individuals, organizations, and companies join forces, driving impactful change right where it matters most. Welcome to the Global Climate League, where every bioregion becomes a stage for environmental and social transformation.

Methodology Indicators & KPIs

Category:

Environment

Macro-indicator:

Product Design & Use

Methodology:

Circle Economy Foundation

Goal:

Product Reusability

Percentage and total weight of the output materials of the product that has been designed for multiple uses. Designed for reuse means that the products are designed in such a way that ensures the actual reuse in practice and at scale (e.g. secondary markets, packaging reuse systems, standardised design).

Category:

Environment

Macro-indicator:

Product Design & Use

Methodology:

Circle Economy Foundation

Goal:

Product Recirculation into Biological cycles

Percentage and total weight of input materials used for the final product or service that are designed to be recirculated into the biological cycle. Designed for recirculation into the biological cycle includes options such as composting and anaerobic digestion (which produces biogas, that can be used as energy, and a digestate that can be used as organic fertiliser or as a soil enhancer).

Environment

Macro-indicator:

Product Design & Use

Methodology:

Circle Economy Foundation

Goal:

Product Durability/Longevity

Percentage and total weight of the output materials of the product that has been designed for maintenance, longevity and durability. Designed for durability means that design encourages longer use than the industry standard in practice and at scale (e.g. marketing repair rather than replacement, timeless design with durable material choices) AND in such a way that does not compromise circular treatment at the end of functional life

Goal:

Product Remanufacturing/refurbishment

Percentage and total weight of the output materials of the product that has been designed for remanufacturing

Category:

Macro-indicator:

Product Design & Use

Methodology:

Circle Economy Foundation

Goal:

Product Recyclability

Percentage and total weight of the output materials used for the final product or service that are designed for recyclability. Designed for recycling requires certain criteria that make the product easy to recycle. Those criteria include low materials complexity, low toxicity, ease of separating different materials within the same product. All these contribute to existing recycling systems and allow them to operate in practice and at scale.

Macro-indicator:

Reduction of waste generation by reused, re-manufactured and recycled

Methodology:

SDPI - Sustainable Development Performance Indicators

Goal:

To disclose the waste generation and the practice of reusing, remanufacturing and recycling for the last five years to gauge a trend.

This indicator measures the change in the entity’s waste generation per non-value added. The options for waste treatment should first prioritize reuse, re-manufacturing and recycling, accordingly in this order, whenever recoverable, as per the circular economy principles. Reuse is the further use of a component, part or product after it has been removed from a clearly defined service cycle. Re-manufacturing is the further use of a component, part or product after it has been removed from a clearly defined service cycle in a new manufacturing process that goes beyond cleaning, repair or refurbishing. Recycling is recovery and reuse of materials from scrap or other waste materials for the production of new goods.
