Davos 2021 - Harnessing Circular Innovation for the Economic Reset - english

A circular economy transformation could create 700,000 net additional jobs by 2040 and generate savings of up to $200 billion a year. Yet, while a shift from the "take-make-waste" model is gaining momentum, an opportunity exists for a more ambitious system reset as society emerges from the pandemic. How can leaders scale up innovative solutions in plastics, electronics, food and more to accelerate the transition to a regenerative circular economy? This session is associated with the following projects and initiatives of the World Economic Forum: Circular Economy and Material Value Chains, Scale360°, Global Plastic Action Partnership, and Global Battery Alliance. <i>The first part of this session is open to the public online; the second is only accessible via TopLink.<i>
