About This Collection

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an independent charity with the aim of inspiring a generation to re-think, re-design & build a positive future through the vision of a circular economy. Ellen MacArthur founded the Foundation to better understand how on land too we rely on finite resources in the form of materials, energy and water after her experiences as a world class sailor having sailed over 26,000 miles to become the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe single-handed.

The Circular Economy 100 is a global platform bringing together leading companies, emerging innovators and regions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy over a 1000-day (3 year) period. The Annual Summit was held Wednesday 19 June 2013.

Inspiring the next generation of climate leaders
September 12, 2019

Women are disproportionately affected by climate change, yet their voices are often unheard in decision-making. Enhancing their participation and leadership is crucial for a healthy, prosperous, and sustainable future, as highlighted by the Women4Climate initiative.

Clara Duchalet exemplifies this, having joined the C40 Women4Climate program to develop Vépluche, her circular economy startup valorizing organic waste.

Aspiring climate leaders are invited to join this session to learn how they can contribute.
