Episode 4: Circular Cities
<p>According to data from the World Bank, cities are home to 56% of the global population. However, the United Nations Environment Programme estimates that cities also contribute to 75% of global carbon emissions. Local and municipal governments play an important role in putting the circular economy into action. But what would a circular city look like, and how can city governments design, promote and support circular systems?</p><br><p>Featuring: Liz Goodwin, chair at ReLondon and senior fellow and director of food loss and waste at the World Resources Institute; Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics and co-founder of the Doughnut Economics Lab; Marta Suplicy, municipal secretary of international relations of the City of São Paulo; and Shiva Susarla, founder of Circular Cities Asia and founder and CEO of RENERGii.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Episode 3: Circular Fashion
<p>Though the fashion industry has doubled its production of clothing over the past 15 years, 75% of the clothes we purchase end up in landfills and less than 1% are being recycled into new clothing, according to research by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. How can clothes be designed to last longer, be reused, and be recycled into new clothes at their end of life? What are the shifts in business models, technologies and regulations needed to design the fashion industry in a more circular way? How can we empower brands, designers, policymakers and customers alike?</p><br><p>Featuring: Laura Coppen, head of circularity at Zalando; Eliana Kuo, founder and co-CEO of Lablaco; and Justine Porterie, global head of sustainability at Depop.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Episode 2: Circular Food
<p>The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that the global food system accounts for about 30% of global carbon emissions. However, data from the United Nations Environment Programme suggest that a third of food continues to be lost or wasted every year. Policymakers, producers, processors, vendors and consumers all have a role to play—from devising policies that support greater stakeholder collaboration and encouraging more regenerative food production, to using produce that would otherwise be lost and reducing the amount of food being wasted in retail, restaurants and households. How can we redesign food products and food systems in ways that help us to meet biodiversity targets and address the climate crisis?</p><br><p>Featuring: Rob Cameron, global head of public affairs and ESG engagement at Nestlé; Philippe Schuler, global impact manager at Too Good to Go; Turner Wyatt, founder and CEO of the Upcycled Food Association; and Winnie Yegon, food systems analyst at the FAO and African food systems leadership fellow.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
