What do city leaders need to know to get started with the circular economy?
October 11, 2019

Convincing colleagues and policymakers about new ideas, especially in environmental practice, requires strategic approaches. Luigi Acquaviva successfully turned environmental concepts into action with Italian regional and city policymakers. Similarly, Cheryl McCulloch engaged Glasgow businesses and policymakers on the circular economy, using a "circular city scan" to shift opinions and foster collaboration.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity launched in 2010 by sailor Ellen MacArthur, accelerates the global transition to a circular economy. Through business, learning, insight, and communications, it has become a global thought leader, influencing decision-makers across business, government, and academia.
