"A transition to the circular economy will help us effectively tackle climate change."
There is an urgent need to move from the predominant take, use, waste linear economy towards a regenerative circular economy – particularly in light of the many national and corporate pledges toward achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. To date, much of the decarbonization discourse has revolved around the energy sector, rather than on material opportunity. It is time to recognize and react to the fact that 70 percent of GhGs emitted are directly linked to material handling and use.
In this session of the Learning Series, we explore the dematerialization and decarbonization challenges and opportunities to reduce GHG emissions, leverage low-carbon policies, and enable private-sector circularity in key industrial (and complementary) sectors and business innovations around the world. The expert panel includes practitioners, academics, and leading global voices.
