This short animation film, produced for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation by the author Christiane Dorion, explains to children in a simple way the concept of a circular economy. Just like cycles in nature, we can design and make our stuff to be made again, so materials can be reused over and over in an endless loop, without creating any waste. This animation is based on Christiane’s book ‘How we Make Stuff’.

This session delves into financing and measuring the circular economy. Discover how it drives new growth, achieves climate and ESG goals, and how its financing market has rapidly expanded across asset classes. We will also explore methods for measuring circularity performance to inform decision-making for both business leaders and financiers.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, accelerates the transition to a circular economy through business initiatives, learning, insights & analysis, and communications. Learn more about our work: www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org.

As major engines for economic growth, cities can drive the circular economy agenda forward to unlock economic, environmental, and social benefits. Alongside Sustainable Development Goals and climate

As major engines for economic growth, cities can drive the circular economy agenda forward to unlock economic, environmental, and social benefits. Alongside Sustainable Development Goals and climate objectives, the transition to a circular economy will support city leaders as they deliver against their priorities, which include housing, mobility, and economic development. By 2050, two thirds of us will live in cities. However, our urban centres are grappling with the effects of our current take-make-waste economy. Under this ‘linear system’, cities consume over 75% of natural resources, produce over 50% of global waste, and emit between 60-80% of greenhouse gases. A circular economy provides the opportunity to rethink how we make and use the things we need, and allows us to explore new ways of ensuring long-term prosperity. Circular Economy in Cities focuses on opportunities in three key urban systems - buildings, mobility, and products - and looks at how city governments can work to enable a circular economy transition. The project addresses questions such as: Vision: What will the implementation of circular economy principles in cities look like? Factsheets: What benefits can a circular economy transition in key urban systems bring to cities? Policy levers: What can urban policymakers do to accelerate this transition? Case studies: What examples are there of urban policymakers already putting this into action? Other networks & resources: What are other organisations doing on the topic of circular economy and cities? Thank you for watching this video.

How do we shift today’s economic system to one that helps to regenerate nature? In this episode, we’ll meet three companies developing materials that work in harmony with our environment and learn how such innovations can be scaled. Co-founder of Materiom, Liz Corbin, spoke to her fellow co-founders Alysia Garmulewicz, Julia Marsh from Sway and Ehab Sayed from Biohm at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Innovation Day in 2022. Your feedback helps us reach more people interested in the circular economy, so please take a moment to leave us a review!

The rate at which buildings are going up is fast accelerating and this presents significant challenges as an industry that is highly wasteful, whilst intensively using valuable materials. Kåre Stokholm Poulsgaard is Head of Innovation at GXN and works with applied design research in architecture through the development of strategies for informed design across 3XN architects and GXN innovation. He is interested in research and innovation in the built environment, specifically in the ways digital technology impacts human well-being, work, and learning and what this means for design strategy. Richard Boyd is a senior materials consultant at Arup. He became an engineer to deliver sustainable development, and has chosen to focus on making construction projects ready for a carbon-constrained future. He has lead several research and consulting projects applying circular economy principles to buildings and infrastructure; the objects which consume more resources than anything else on the planet. His experience covers the design, construction and operation stages of these assets and derives from a diverse background in manufacturing, engineering design, international development, construction and research. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for watching this video.

Every year, the Foundation's interactive online event series DIF welcomes contributions from innovators, designers and organisations from outside of our organisation. This year, the focus has primarily been on live contributions, but this film, produced by Creative Conscience, an organisation set up by a community for the community to inspire innovation among young people. This film takes a close look at the different roles that creativity can play in building a positive future and inspiring action towards the circular economy. How can things like film and gaming creatively influence the way we think? Tune in for a couple of examples of graphic design in action. Speakers featured in the film: - Jonathon Porritt - founder and director, Forum for the Future - Paul Barlow - founder and creative director, branding agency L&CO - Laura McGonigal - leader of sustainability, Ecover and Method - Chrissy Levett - founder and CEO, Creative Conscience - Lily Dryden - graphic designer, Creative Conscience winner - Ieuan Lewis - graphic designer, Creative Conscience winner -------------------------------- Thank you for watching this video.

Cities across continents are embracing circular economy principles into their policy development as they work to create thriving, livable and resilient cities fit for the future. We meet three leaders from Milan, São Paulo and London who demonstrate how circular economy principles are being implemented in different contexts and geographies to deliver new systems within their cities.
