Redefining growth with a circular economy

Economics can be a powerful tool for change. By redefining economic growth through prosperity, job creation, and resilience—rather than GDP—we can enable people and the environment to thrive, eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and pollution.

Achieving this requires a systemic redesign and transformative action from both public and private sectors. This episode explores how, covering goal setting, influential metrics, and the application of circular economy principles.
