Transitioning from a linear to a circular economy is not a uniform task across markets or geographies, which means, the strategies to “close the loop” vary, says Paul Bodnar, Global Head of Sustainable Investing at BlackRock - one of the world's largest asset management firms. In this teaser video for the #CircularEconomyShow on the circular economy and finance, Paul shares his insights on one promising model that he thinks is already being used to drive financial growth through the circular economy. Davinah Milenge, Principal Program Coordinator for Climate Change and Green Growth Department at the African Development Bank, shares further insights on the circular economy investment opportunity in developing markets.

As the momentum towards building a Circular Economy grows worldwide, proponents search for examples that best illustrate what it would be like to live “Circularly.” Author and designer Azby Brown uses illustrations from his ground-breaking book “Just Enough” to show how Japan paved the way centuries ago. The Circular Economy model adheres so closely to Edo-period environmental resource and design principles that Edo can serve as an essential prototype and inspiration, demonstrating that living in a highly-developed Circular Economy can be comfortable, healthy, and beautiful. Azby Brown has lived in Japan for over 3 decades, developing a multidisciplinary practice spanning environmentalism, design, and the fine arts. His groundbreaking writings on traditional Japanese carpentry, compact housing, and traditional sustainable practices are recognised internationally. Since the start of the Fukushima disaster in March, 2011, he has been lead researcher for the global citizen-science organisation Safecast; engaged in assisting affected communities and analysing and reporting the issues they face. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Where do our clothes go when we’re done with them? In a city like New York alone, 200 million pounds of clothing are being landfilled annually - that is the equivalent of over 440 Statues of Liberty. Globally, 73% of the materials used to produce clothing are landfilled or burned at the end of their life, while less than 1% of old clothing goes on to be used to make new clothes. Two recent campaigns - Wear Next (New York) and Love Not Landfill (London) - aimed to divert clothes from landfill and encouraged brands and citizens to embrace the new mindset and make our wardrobes really work. They say that whether it’s swapping them, selling them, donating or recycling them, it’s possible to work together to prevent clothing from ever becoming waste. Join this session to find out why these campaigns were set up, how they went and what they learned. ------------------------ Thank you for watching this video.

45% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from how we make and use products like buildings, cars and clothes, and how we produce food. There needs to be a fundamental shift in the global approach

45% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from how we make and use products like buildings, cars and clothes, and how we produce food. There needs to be a fundamental shift in the global approach to tackling climate change and the circular economy can play an essential role. In this conversation, the Foundation's Joss Bleriot and Per Klevnas from Material Economics discuss why the transition to renewable energy is only part of the picture in the conversation about what we need to do to mitigate climate change. Find out more about the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's latest report on the role the circular economy can play in tackling climate change and what this means for the strategies of countries and companies around the world. ------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for watching this video.

More and more businesses are adopting circular economy strategies and pilots, but how do they understand and measure success on the path towards that goal? Circulytics is a new company-level analytics tool, created by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, that reveals the extent to which a company has achieved circularity across its entire operations. Developed in collaboration with a number of companies, including the Foundation’s 13 Global Partners, and tested by over 30 companies in 2019, Circulytics aims to: Measure a company’s entire circularity, not just products and material flows. Support decision making and strategic development for circular economy adoption. Demonstrate strengths and highlight areas for improvement. Provide optional transparency to investors and customers about a company’s circular economy adoption. Ilma Stankeviciute, Learning Designer at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation - creates business focused learning content for the circular economy learning hub as well as designs and facilitates various learning experiences online and face to face. Jarkko Havas, Lead of Data and Metrics Initiative at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation - leads the Foundation's efforts on harnessing data and metrics to accelerate the transition to circular economy, and supports the Foundation’s Global Partners in exploring the value creation potential that circular economy offers. Tom Giddings, Sustainability Data and Reporting Manager at DS Smith - has been one of the leading figures in DS Smith's assessment and use of the Circulytics circular economy measurement tool.

In this actionable episode, Kate Raworth, economist and creator of the Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries, demonstrates how we can tackle the current divisive economic dynamic and reframe our economy into a distributive and fair financial system, with people, communities and dynamics at its core. Raworth explains: “We have to take our degenerative linear economy of take, make, use and lose and turn it into a regenerative and distributive economy...What we need to focus on is creating dynamics that start bringing us into the doughnut.” So, could Doughnut economics and similar models be key drivers for transitioning to a #Circulareconomy? Watch this teaser video for the #CircularEconomyShow to unravel Doughnut economics, how it could reframe our current economic dynamic and importantly, how its success can be measured. ------ Thank you for watching this video.

Dr. Peter G. Brown is a Professor of Geography at McGill University. In this discussion he calls out important points from his book, co-authored by with Geoffrey Garver, "Right Relationship: Buildng a Whole Earth Economy.  Our current economic system—which assumes endless growth and limitless potential wealth—flies in the face of the fact that the earths resources are finite. The result is increasing destruction of the natural world and growing, sometimes lethal, tension between rich and poor, global north and south. Trying to fix problems piecemeal is not the solution. We need a comprehensive new vision of an economy that can serve people and all of lifes commonwealth.
