This B Corp Global Climate Summit session, part of the Day 2 Africa Regional Session, explores the circular economy. This model aims to eliminate waste, boost resource productivity, and redefine how we design and reuse resources. With food waste alone contributing 3.3 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, and the linear economy's flaws exposed by COVID-19, the circular economy offers a new paradigm with an estimated $4.5 trillion annual economic potential by 2030.

The session will delve into applying circular principles to food waste management, how businesses adopt circularity for resilience, and real-world company case studies. It will also discuss the circular economy's potential for a green post-pandemic recovery. Speakers include Grace Wachori, Martha Nalweyiso, Matt Homewood, Daniel Chege, and Rita Atuti.

Indigenous Peoples integrate cultural values into business, protecting 80% of global biodiversity through "green jobs." To foster an equitable, regenerative future, we must uplift Indigenous-led solutions and transform philanthropy, moving beyond colonial-capitalism.

This panel explores these strategies with Sikowis (Great Plains Action Society) and Dr. Nick Estes (The Red Nation), hosted by Alexis Bunten (Bioneers Indigeneity Program).

U.S. buildings are highly inefficient, accounting for 40% of primary energy use and emissions, and often negatively impact inhabitants. Bioneers brought together visionary architects Deanna Van

U.S. buildings are highly inefficient, accounting for 40% of primary energy use and emissions, and often negatively impact inhabitants. Bioneers brought together visionary architects Deanna Van Buren and Jason McLennan to redefine healthy, nature-honoring, and socially equitable built environments.

Van Buren (Designing Justice) creates "restorative" infrastructure addressing mass incarceration's root causes. McLennan, a leading "green" architect, champions truly "living" and regenerative buildings. This discussion explored how their distinct but vital visions for our built environment can be synthesized.

Moderated by Dawn Danby, this conversation was part of the 2022 Bioneers conference. Find more talks and discussions at bioneers.org.

On September 12, 2024, WECAN launched its "Gendered and Racial Impacts of the Fossil Fuel Industry in North America" report. This fourth edition details how fossil fuel extraction disproportionately harms women, particularly in Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities, leading to increased health risks, violence, and human rights violations. It also identifies complicit financial institutions and recommends steps for accountability and a just transition.

The virtual launch featured frontline women leaders, health experts, and advocates. Speakers like Roishetta Sibley Ozane, Rene Ann Goodrich, Sharon Lavigne, and Casey Camp Horinek demanded that financial institutions take action to protect communities, ecosystems, and the climate.

He famously chose to forgo immense wealth, instead pursuing a "deeper American Dream" focused on a society at peace with its conscience, living in harmony with all life, and practicing compassionate ecosystem stewardship.

A powerful advocate for a sane, ethical, and sustainable future, Robbins has spoken at major conferences, received prestigious honors like the Rachel Carson Award, and appeared on national shows.

Indigenous Peoples already lead in "green jobs," integrating cultural values and protecting 80% of global biodiversity. Transforming economies through Indigenous-led solutions requires uplifting

Indigenous Peoples already lead in "green jobs," integrating cultural values and protecting 80% of global biodiversity. Transforming economies through Indigenous-led solutions requires uplifting these movements and stories, necessitating a shift in philanthropy and "impact investing" from privileged circles.

In this panel, Sikowis (Plains Cree/Saulteaux), Nick Estes (Lower Brule Sioux Tribe), and Alexis Bunten (Unangan/Yupik) explore colonial-capitalism. They discuss how Indigenous-led strategies offer a pathway toward an equitable and regenerative future.

The Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute hosted an online forum on June 24. Garrison Institute Co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose joined Kate Raworth, Leonora Grcheva, and Erinch Sahan from Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) to explore Doughnut Economics. This framework defines the goal of economics as "social and ecological wellbeing rather than growth."

The discussion highlighted its global application. Kate Raworth introduced the concept, followed by Leonora Grcheva's insights on city implementation and Erinch Sahan's perspective on business applications. This insightful forum, reflecting the Garrison Institute's "Timeless Wisdom, Timely Action," offered ideas for improving the quality of life for all.
