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.

Shneel Malik, a licensed Architect and interdisciplinary Biodesign researcher, addresses the increasing divide between natural and urban environments. She combines bio-research and architecture to design 'living spaces' that blur the lines between green and concrete areas. Her vision also empowers small-scale artisan communities to adopt sustainable, futuristic solutions using accessible cultural techniques, fostering future cities.

Currently pursuing her PhD at the Bio-Integrated Design Lab, Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, Shneel investigates the design and fabrication of large-scale photosynthetic membranes for architectural applications. This talk was given at an independently organized TEDx event. Learn more at TEDx.

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.
