This episode of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Economy Show explores the vital link between a healthy economy and a thriving natural environment. We delve into the Foundation’s latest report, "Building Prosperity: Unlocking the Potential for a Nature Positive Circular Economy for Europe," addressing biodiversity decline.

Joined by report lead Julia Okatz (Systemiq) and Joss Bleriot (EMF), we discuss how cities and built environments can foster a nature-positive circular economy. Discover strategies to transform urban spaces, reduce material consumption, regenerate nature, and create economic opportunities.

"The Physics of Noseriding" explores the magic and mechanics of this iconic surfing move. Through Namaala, a young surfer whose ancestors pioneered water-flying, the film reveals the sensation of levitation as wave, board, and surfer unite.

Written and directed by Lauren L. Hill, starring Namaala Slabb, this film is presented by Patagonia. Patagonia uses its business, investments, and voice to address the threat of extinction facing all life on Earth.

Cities are pivotal for transitioning to a circular economy. Currently, they consume over 75% of natural resources, generate 50% of global waste, and emit 60-80% of greenhouse gases due to a linear "take-make-waste" model. As urban populations grow, the circular economy offers a vital framework to address climate change and post-pandemic recovery, unlocking economic, environmental, and societal benefits.

City governments, leveraging policy, can lead this shift by engaging public and private stakeholders. This episode, powered by Restream, features the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Strategic Partner Cities—London, New York City, and São Paulo—discussing their progress in advancing circular economy solutions.

Our five Universal circular economy policy goals offer governments a path to resilient post-COVID recovery and solutions for global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. These goals were central to a live panel discussion on February 2nd, moderated by Eline Schaart (POLITICO Europe) and featuring Steven Schonberger (World Bank), Roberta Dessi (Inter IKEA Group), and Miranda Schnitger (Ellen MacArthur Foundation). The panel emphasized the importance of aligning sub-national, national, and international policies to scale the circular transition.

In 1987 Arizona, scientists created Biosphere 2, a 3-acre domed facility designed to mimic Earth's living systems without external aid. Early experiments, where crews lived inside, faced oxygen loss and food shortages. Despite initial failures, Biosphere 2 now conducts some of the world's largest earth science experiments, offering vital insights into natural systems for global challenges.

We will also speak with participants from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's "From Linear to Circular" program. Forty-four young professionals and students recently completed a week-long study on the circular economy. Discover their experiences, motivations, and how they will apply their learning to their studies and careers.

Inspired by natural kynurenine chemicals found in human eyes, Sóliome is revolutionizing sunblock. Traditional synthetic sunscreens harm marine life and persist in the environment. Sóliome's biomimetic, kynurenine-based sunscreens offer an effective, economical, and environmentally friendly alternative.

These innovative sunscreens feature large molecules that remain on the skin's surface for maximum protection. As natural products, they biodegrade quickly and pose fewer risks than synthetic alternatives, protecting both human health and the planet.

Sóliome was a participant in our 2022 Ray of Hope Prize Program. Learn more about biomimicry: biomimicry.org and asknature.org.
