The Circular Design Leaders are a group of engaged senior design leaders within the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Network with a circular economy agenda. Their ambition is to accelerate the adoption of circular design in their organisations and inspire the global design audience. In September 2022, the Foundation’s Circular Design team, together with IDEO, met with 16 Circular Design Leaders at the CY Design School in St. Germain-en-Laye for a three-day speculative design sprint. During the sprint, the group explored what the future design function within a circular-ready organisation would look like.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is a UK charity that develops and promotes the idea of a circular economy, which - driven by design, eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials, and regenerates nature.

Watch and Share this informative video! During the week of October 22, 2012, The Mending News released a 7:25 minute video on the basics of an international carbon offset mechanism called REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) and its link to California's cap and trade regulations that currently include a "placeholder" to allow sub-national REDD carbon credits to enter into its cap and trade system. A Governor's Forests and Climate Task Force is working with several states/provinces -- most notably Chiapas, Mexico and Acre, Brazil -- to potentially supply California with REDD credits. Some NGOs are saying this California REDD project will become a model for implementing REDD internationally. IEN and other groups in California support California's greenhouse gas reduction goals, but REDD credits should not be accepted into California's carbon trading system. The film makes note that: REDD credits lack environmental integrity; REDD projects pose high risks to Indigenous Peoples and forest dependent communities; and REDD offsets are risky in terms of fraud, land grabs, evictions and human rights abuses. Watch the video to get the real story of REDD, the deceptive climate 'solution' being proposed in California and being implemented within the UN climate negotiations and the World Bank. It sounds good on paper, but the reality is that REDD enforces the global colonization of Mother Earth; allows the polluting industry to expand its toxic emissions creating local toxic hotspots in faraway places; and creates a stolen future for Indigenous peoples, local forest dependent communities, communities living next door to a fossil fuel polluting industry, and a stolen future for the environment and all life.

Indigenous people continue to battle fortress conservation efforts that displace communities from their lands and territories and restrict access to environments in the name of conservation. Yet, Indigenous communities are the guardians and keepers of the Earth, making up just over 6 percent of the world’s population, but steward 25 percent of the Earth’s surface and 40 percent of intact ecosystems, and protect 80 percent of the planet’s remaining biodiversity. This is no coincidence, but a result of the deep relationships Indigenous Peoples hold with their territories.

Eriel Deranger — member of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) and Executive Director/Founder of Indigenous Climate Action — has been on the frontlines of the global fight against the ravages of fossil fuel extraction. The ACFN’s resistance is a prime example of Indigenous resurgence in Canada, revealing how Indigenous peoples are disrupting the status quo and pointing the way forward for the protection, preservation and future governance of Mother Earth.
