In this week's episode of the Circular Economy Show, @Joe Iles interviews @Zaid Hassan about his book's conclusion that "it's not that hard" to implement change, despite the extensive efforts of many organizations. Zaid argues that much of this effort is misdirected, noting that the real challenge lies in solving a problem for the first time, after which others will follow suit.

Attacks on endangered wildlife are escalating, particularly following the Trump administration's dismantling of the Endangered Species Act. Key changes include the removal of the definition of "harm" related to habitat destruction and the end of automatic protections for newly listed species. This allows activities like logging and development to bypass crucial conservation requirements, potentially leading to increased wildlife deaths.

Additionally, the administration's "Extinction Committee" has granted exemptions to oil and gas operations, further endangering species like whales and sea turtles. Proposed congressional deals threaten to weaken wildlife reviews and hinder legal challenges against destructive projects. The Center for Biological Diversity is actively fighting these rollbacks in court. Support our efforts by donating and spreading the word.

Interceptor 028 is now operational in the Philippines, targeting the 370 to 540 tonnes of plastic that flow through the Meycauayan River system into Manila Bay annually.

Collaborating with the City of Meycauayan and the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), we aim to monitor and enhance the interceptor's performance. This deployment is the first of several planned for the Manila Bay region under our 30 Cities Program, which seeks to reduce plastic pollution from some of the world's most contaminated waterways.

Zaid Hassan, a strategist and writer with 25 years in systems change, critiques the field for its ineffective progress. In a conversation with Joe Iles, he discusses the disconnect between beautiful diagrams and real change, emphasizing that AI will soon take over many skills. His new book concludes with the phrase "it's not that hard," highlighting a simpler approach to systems change.

Hassan has advised global organizations like the World Bank and Oxfam and authored notable works including Social Labs Revolution (2014) and How To Evolve And How Not To (2026).

Women play a crucial role in agrifood systems, yet they face significant barriers and inequalities that limit their potential. Equal compensation and opportunities for women would benefit households and communities, enhancing economies, reducing hunger, and increasing dietary diversity.

The "Commit to Grow Equality" initiative focuses on empowering women in agrifood systems, urging partners to prioritize gender equality in their interventions. Learn more at FAO.

Attacks on endangered wildlife are escalating as the Trump administration dismantles the Endangered Species Act. Key changes include removing the definition of "harm" related to habitat destruction and ending automatic protections for newly listed species. This could allow foreseeable deaths from activities like logging and development to bypass essential conservation requirements.

Additionally, an "Extinction Committee" has granted oil and gas operations exemptions from the Act, increasing risks to endangered species. A proposed congressional deal threatens to weaken wildlife reviews and complicate legal challenges against harmful projects. The Center for Biological Diversity is actively challenging these rollbacks and urges you to help defend this vital law: Share this video.
