Connecting Circular Economy and Climate Action Masterclass
This masterclass will equip attendees with the knowledge, insights and practical tools for delivering change in their networks and across our region.
Shifting to a circular economy can help to achieve climate and sustainable development goals. Pressure is building to lower emissions by 2030 and we need new business models for sourcing and managing products that go beyond emissions offsets and recycling.
A circular economy offers industry, business and governments major opportunities for value creation and innovation while addressing social, environmental, economic and governance challenges.
To make the most of these opportunities, decision makers in Australia can help activate change in their operations and across sectors by drawing on international best practice.
This masterclass includes the following features:
- International guest presenters on leading policies, strategies and procurement programs
- Facilitated by One Planet Consulting (Helen Millicer) and the Institute for Sustainable Futures at University of Technology Sydney (Damien Giurco)
- Participant activities focused on levers (including policies, financials, markets, regulations and procurement) that deliver systematic change
- Networking-friendly breakout group activities
