Foreign policy expert Fiona Hill, from a coal-mining town, served under three presidents. Her book, "There Is Nothing for You Here: Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century," warns of America's socioeconomic collapse and authoritarian shift, advocating for expanded opportunity.

Hill discussed these insights with Ellen Nakashima (The Washington Post) on October 12, 2021. This program is part of the Good Lit series by The Commonwealth Club, the nation's oldest public affairs forum.

Regenerative agriculture offers a powerful solution to global challenges like biodiversity loss and climate change, demonstrating how food production can actively regenerate nature. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation highlights the critical role food manufacturers and retailers play in this transition, urging them to redesign product portfolios, foster new farmer dynamics, utilize innovative on-farm metrics, and advocate for supportive policies.

Tune in to discover examples of innovative farming practices and gain perspectives from industry leaders. Speakers include Karen Cooper (Nestle) and Gabriella Galindo Hernandez (Danone).

Food production significantly contributes to global challenges like biodiversity loss and climate change. However, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's latest publication argues that creating nature and climate-positive food is possible through better design. This presents a major opportunity for food manufacturers and retailers to benefit customers, farmers, and their businesses.

In a new episode of the Circular Economy Show, Emma Chow and Gaelle Le Gelard from the Foundation will discuss why a fundamental rethink of ingredients and product portfolios is needed, moving beyond incremental sourcing. They will explore the crucial concept of 'food design' and envision what nature-positive foods of the future could look like.

Sustainable Development Goal 12 addresses responsible consumption and production. Current global practices, driven by overconsumption, significantly harm the planet and its natural resources.

To tackle major problems like climate change, waste, and pollution, the circular economy offers a solution. This approach rethinks how we design, make, and use everything, from food to clothing.

We partnered with Luisa Santiago from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a leader in circular economy development, to explore how businesses contribute to SDG 12.

The linear, extractive economic model poses increasing risks to the global economy and its financial sector. This episode presents new evidence from Bocconi University on the circular economy's de-risking effect, driven by resource decoupling and business model diversification, creating opportunities for investors and financial institutions.

We'll be joined by Max Tellini, Head of Circular Economy at Intesa Sanpaolo, and Professor Claudio Zara, Researcher at Bocconi University, in conversation with Emily Healy from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

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.

The textiles industry significantly impacts resources and water, perpetuating a linear "take-make-waste" economy. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation advocates for making circular economy models, such as resale and repair, the norm through economic incentives and regulations. How can this be achieved in the fashion and textiles sector?

This episode, powered by Restream, explores policy's enabling role in increasing circular business model adoption. We'll hear perspectives from the European Commission, the European Environment Agency, and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

This episode, powered by Restream, highlights the crucial importance of tracking circular economy performance as businesses adopt sustainable strategies. We explore how companies utilize Circulytics, the Foundation’s measurement tool, to inform strategic decisions, track progress, and engage stakeholders.

Join us to hear from Cecilia Brännsten (H&M Group), Marianne Richeux (Brambles), and Ellen Jackowski (HP Inc.) on their experiences.
