Materials and Products Taskforce - Business perspectives on EU Circular Economy policy
As part of London Circular Economy Week, CLG Europe’s Materials and Products Taskforce will be hosting a webinar setting out EU Circular Economy Policy. The European Union is one of the global leaders in fighting climate change and promoting a sustainable economic growth. In December 2019, the EU launched the European Green Deal, which aims to reform a broad range of European policies and mandates full climate neutrality by 2050. Whilst the most prominent legislation has been on climate, there has also been a growing focus around building a more circular European economy. In 2020, the European Commission presented the second Circular Economy Action Plan – a policy instrument which aims to mainstream circular economy as a strategy that will drive a decrease in GHG emissions and benefit nature, society, and the EU economy. The EU Council, in endorsing the Action Plan, highlighted circularity as one of the key principles that must drive the economic recovery of the European industry. The stories of European companies that have incorporated circularity in their daily operations prove that it is a viable economic strategy which helps to derisk business operations and opens up new possibilities for growth. The Corporate Leaders Group Europe and its Taskforce for climate neutral and circular materials and products, both convened by the CISL, have published a number of reports showcasing the advantages of circularity. Speakers include: Anthony Abbotts, Director Group Public Affairs & Sustainability, ROCKWOOL Group Jørgen Hanson, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, Norsk HydroJørgen Hanson, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, Norsk Hydro Krisztina Zálnoky - Senior Research Project Manager, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership Moderated by Tahmid Chowdhury, Programme Lead, Materials and Products Taskforce, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership

Role of the Circular Economy to meet climate targets in the EU: a progressive business perspective
Event hosted by CLG Europe’s Materials and Products Taskforce. The EU has recently made great strides towards meeting its climate goals. However, less focus has been placed on the key role that a circular economy plays. This event highlights the critical role that building a circular European economy plays to meet the EU’s climate goals. This event is also an opportunity to showcase the work of the CLG Europe’s Taskforce for Climate Neutral and Circular Materials and Products (‘The Materials and Products Taskforce’) 12 months after its launch at COP26. Speakers included: • Eliot Whittington, Director at CLG Europe and Policy Director at CISL • Helen Ågren, Director, Ministry of Environment, Climate Department, Sweden • Chiara Martinelli, Director, CAN Europe • Anthony Abbotts – Director Group Public Affairs & Sustainability, ROCKWOOL Group • Vicente Saiso, Global Sustainability Vice President, CEMEX As part of this event, we published our paper – ‘Green Circularity: Advancing the EU’s climate goals through a Circular Economy’. The policy briefing highlights the critical role that building a circular European economy plays in meeting the EU’s climate goals. Furthermore, this paper sets out that the challenges and recommendations for policymakers to speed up the transition to a circular economy. Read the publication here: https://www.corporateleadersgroup.com/reports-evidence-and-insights/collections/reports/policy-briefing-green-circularity-advancing-eus The Materials and Products Taskforce was launched with the aim of driving forward policy action on sustainable materials by bringing together a group of progressive businesses across sectors and value chains. The group brings together companies that are actively committed to producing and using climate neutral and sustainable materials, and who want to work together to promote and support EU-wide measures to decarbonise material production and use. The Materials and Products warmly welcomed the EU’s newly proposed Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation, part of the EU Circular Economy Action Plan, which can be a key framework Directive to drive change. For maximum impact, however, there is also a need to address wider issues, and to help resolve a series of challenges which businesses encounter when driving to become more circular and sustainable.

How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet w/ Dr. Hiser & Sarah Jaquette Ray - CCR Ep. 58 Promo
Episode drops March 26, 2021: https://ccl.podbean.com/e/ccr-ep-58-how-to-keep-your-cool-on-a-warming-planet-with-dr-krista-hiser-and-sarah-jaquette-ray/ If you are feeling up, down, or somewhere in between, by the time you finish this episode, you will feel encouraged in the great work you are doing. Dr. Krista Hiser is teaches at Kapiʻolani Community College and is currently serving as the Director of the Center for Sustainability Across the Curriculum for the University of Hawaii. Her research uses focus groups, interviews, and reflective writing to learn more about student and faculty perspectives on climate change and sustainability. To share their research findings, she and her colleague Matthew K. Lynch co-wrote the paper, Worry and Hope: What College Students Know, Think, Feel, and Do about Climate Change. It appears in the Journal for Community Engagement and Scholarship. This study is being replicated at universities in the USA and reveals how students are feeling about climate change and where they are learning about it. With this data, Kr. Hiser leads workshops to help faculty expand their teaching strategies in order to help students manage complex emotions related to our climate predicament. Dr. Hiser has published on community engagement, service-learning, organizational change, post-apocalyptic and cli-fi literature. She is also the author of Field Notes: Teaching Climate Change in Higher Education, a blog available through medium.com The Art House Sarah Jaquette Ray is a professor of environmental studies, a writer, and a mom. She doesn’t necessarily see herself as an artist. In taking on climate change though, she recognizes the essential role of the arts. On Earth Day 2020, in the midst of an urgent Coronavirus pandemic, she published a book that is helping people navigate their strong feelings about climate change. A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety: How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet, provides practical insights and proven techniques for keeping focused on pursuing solutions for a complicated and challenging topic. With warmth, humor, and expertise, Sarah Jaquette Ray will help you better know how to stay engaged without becoming overwhelmed. Host Peterson Toscano says, “Reading Sarah’s book, I saw how the concepts she covers are not just helpful for students in high school and college. They also are questions and issues artists who are engaged in climate work consider all time. For storytellers, Sarah suggests we adjust the lens of how we look at climate stories. Telling the stories that will have the most impact takes real work.” Good News Report Dr. Anthony Leiserowitz from Yale Climate Connections shares some good news in addressing a long history of injustice. He chats with Cate Mingoya of Groundwork USA, a network of environmental justice organizations. In order to fight inequality in their neighborhoods, some city residents are using maps to reveal what they have known for a long time. They show how racist housing policies of the past have left residents more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change today. Mingoya says the maps show how the impacts of redlining persist, and provide an important tool for local residents, “to sit down with their local government, with elected officials, with leaders in their community and say, ‘You need to explain why this is still the case and you need to explain what you’re going to do to make things look a little bit different.’” If you have good news to share, leave a voice mail at 518.595.9414.

Will Plastic-Free July Survive Coronavirus?
Consumer sentiment began to trend away from disposable packaging — particularly single-use plastics — over the past few years, as images of waterways choked in waste circulated in the media. Then came the novel coronavirus, and with it a resurgence in single-use systems. Knowing the coronavirus can survive on surfaces, many assume single-use items are inherently safer than reusable alternatives, but are they really? For Plastic-Free July, we’ll take a closer look at a circular model that ensures health and hygiene while providing an alternative to single-use. On July 22 at 2 p.m. ET, 3BL Media will join Anthony Rossi, vice president of global business development for the reusable packaging platform Loop, and Patrick Browne, director of global sustainability for Loop’s logistics partner, UPS. We’ll talk about what’s new with Loop, often dubbed the “21st-century milkman,” in the time of COVID-19 and explore how circular systems like these can change mindsets and avoid a backslide on plastic waste generation.
