The circular economy offers a compelling business case for product redesign and new operating models. In a live conversation, members of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation team discussed its underlying values and relevant topics.

They explored how the circular economy differs from sustainability or "recycling on steroids," debating whether efficiency or effectiveness matters more, and if a top-down or bottom-up approach is better.

The broadcast featured four experts from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Watch the full discussion here: https://youtu.be/HtOV_tGBHz8.

Scientists have long studied climate change; now, the focus must shift to implementing solutions. As a technologist, I see immense potential for innovation to mitigate warming impacts—from preventing deforestation and preserving biodiversity to ensuring food security. The ambitious goal, central to "Operation Earth," is to leverage technology not just to limit warming, but to reverse damage and reduce global temperatures by one degree Celsius.

This urgent call to action comes from Daniela Rus, Director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and a distinguished professor. Her expertise in robotics and data science highlights the innovative approaches required. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event, which you can learn more about here.

Does circular economy terminology create misleading understandings, hindering its real-world implementation? Businesses and policymakers frequently discuss the challenges of transitioning to this new economic system, grappling with barriers like finance, policy, and supply chains.

While these are crucial, an often-overlooked challenge lies in the words and terminology themselves. This group will explore why choosing the right terms is as vital to the transition as finding alternatives to single-use plastic, identifying influential words and phrases.

At UNFCCC COP25 on December 4, 2019, C2G and leading experts called for more urgent global discussions to address governance gaps in CO2 removal (CDR).

Thelma Krug, Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), highlighted that all IPCC pathways limiting global warming to 1.5°C incorporate CDR. She stressed the critical need for robust governance frameworks for these technologies.

Join members of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation team for a live conversation exploring the circular economy. This compelling concept presents a clear business case for redesigning everyday products and establishing fundamentally new operating models for businesses.

The discussion will delve into critical questions: How does the circular economy differentiate from sustainability or advanced recycling? Is its primary focus on efficiency or effectiveness, and does that distinction matter? Should it be implemented as a top-down or bottom-up approach?

This broadcast features Seb Egerton-Read, Stella Chavin, Sarah O'Carroll, and Laura Franco Henao, who will discuss the underlying values and relevant topics of the circular economy.

Generational pressure, spearheaded by young activists like Greta Thunberg, is the crucial driver for climate change policy. Daniel C. Esty, a Yale Professor of Environmental Law and Policy, argues that this shift in values, viewing planetary contamination as a moral wrong, is key to progress. He likens it to the societal transformation that made smoking unacceptable.

Esty, editor of "A Better Planet: 40 Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future," emphasizes that transformational change is often driven by generational shifts. For a sustainable future, energy companies must reimagine their role and become part of the solution to this global crisis.
