This session was live-streamed as part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Summit21 event on the 9th June 2021 Chile’s Minister of the Environment Carolina Schmidt shares her experience leading Chile’s circular economy roadmap to address environmental challenges while creating opportunities for economic growth. Wolfgang Blau, former Global COO at Condé Nast, now Visiting Research Fellow at Oxford University and Foundation Trustee, is in conversation with Dame Ellen MacArthur to answer the question ‘what if we optimised to grow ecosystem value?’  Financial Times Consumer Industries Correspondent Judith Evans hosts a panel on investment in the circular economy with Audrey Choi, Chief Sustainability Officer at Morgan Stanley, and Paul Bodnar, Global Head of Sustainable Investing at BlackRock.  And, PVH Chief Supply Chain Officer Bill McRaith, IKEA Global Supply Chain Operations Manager Susanne Waidzunas, and H&M Head of Supply Chain David Savman discuss how global supply chains can be redesigned to facilitate growth that not only generates profit but creates more inclusive and equal societies while tackling environmental issues.

The "Westwood Next Door" project, developed by the M06 student group, proposed sustainable interventions for Seattle's Westwood-Highland Park neighborhood. Operating under the motto "small measures for big changes," their goal was to improve the area by considering residents' needs and interests, specifically avoiding gentrification.

The strategy focused on promoting sustainable thinking, community engagement, green transportation, streetscape greening, and temporary uses for brownfields and vacant buildings. This winning initiative was part of the C40 Students Reinventing Cities global competition. Learn more about this project: Westwood-Highland Park Project.

Team member Fatbardha Gela, an international master's student, presented this project at a TEDx event. Her interests include urban sustainable transformations and green cities. Learn more about TEDx: TEDx.

Over the course of its 150-year history, California has successfully protected its scenic wilderness areas, restricted coastal oil drilling, regulated automobile emissions, preserved coastal access

Over the course of its 150-year history, California has successfully protected its scenic wilderness areas, restricted coastal oil drilling, regulated automobile emissions, preserved coastal access and improved energy efficiency. Back in 1963 when the Clean Air Act was written, legislators acknowledged that California was ahead of the curve and wrote a waiver into the law allowing the Golden State to set its own stricter standards. In 2018, that exception is being used in fighting—and so far winning—the loosening of national CAFE standards Join us for a conversation about the past, present and future of California’s leadership in environmental policy. We will look at the lessons—as laid out by David Vogel—offered by California to the nation and the world. What has worked and where has the state fallen short? And later in the show. . . Just ten years ago, an entire state running on 100 percent renewable electricity was considered fanciful. But this dreamy vision became reality when, with the backing of big utilities, California committed to 100 percent use of zero-carbon electricity by 2045. The stakes were raised even higher with a statewide pledge to go carbon neutral by 2045. What will it take for California to achieve such a feat? What are the impacts on the fuel and transportation industries? Will Governor Gavin Newsom embrace climate initiatives started by former Governor Jerry Brown? A discussion on California’s surprise gambit to take the world’s fifth largest economy to net zero with John Hofmeister, former president of Shell Oil, Bob Holycross, Global Director of Sustainability & Vehicle Environmental Matters at Ford Motor Company, and Mary Nichols, Chair of the California Air Resources Board This program is generously underwritten by ClimateWorks Foundation. #letstalkclimate https://climateone.org/ Protect what has already been saved 5:29 Revoking National Monuments? 5:50 California Cars 8:38 Is California anti-business? 10:43 California Going Carbon Neutral 12:45 Oil companies and zero emissions 14:54 Electrification of everything 17:32 Lightening Round 20:20 Artificial Intelligence and Smart Cars 24:50
