WHAT:
Looking beyond the current take-make-waste extractive industrial model, a circular economy aims to redefine growth, focusing on positive society-wide benefits. Closing the circularity gap serves the higher objective of preventing further and accelerated environmental degradation and social inequality. As a multi-stakeholder model, a circular economy has the ability to unite a global community behind an action agenda. Its systemic approach boosts capacity and capability to serve societal needs, by embracing and endorsing the best humankind has to offer: the power of entrepreneurship, innovation, and collaboration to contribute to reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement. Join Rubicon’s David Rachelson as part of an in-depth panel discussion at the World Climate Summit 2019 on “Closing the Circularity Gap.”
