A circular economy for steel, cement, aluminum, plastics, and food could eliminate 9.3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually by 2050, matching all current transport emissions. Founder Dame Ellen MacArthur explains its crucial role in addressing climate change and building a resilient economy independent of finite resources.

Globally, 500 million smallholder farmers produce much of the world's food yet disproportionately face hunger, poverty, and climate change. Improving farm design and management for productivity and profitability is vital. Emma Naluyima, a Ugandan farmer, exemplifies this, achieving abundant, diverse food on one acre through circular resource management, healthy soils, and appropriate technology.

Cities annually produce one billion tons of organic waste, often dumped at high cost, causing pollution and emissions. Insects offer a proven, sustainable solution, efficiently converting this waste into food, feed, and nutrient-rich compost. Companies like Sanergy and InsectiPro show how insects transform waste into profit, supporting soil fertility and a circular food economy.

Cities are pivotal for transitioning to a circular economy. Currently, they consume over 75% of natural resources, generate 50% of global waste, and emit 60-80% of greenhouse gases due to a linear "take-make-waste" model. As urban populations grow, the circular economy offers a vital framework to address climate change and post-pandemic recovery, unlocking economic, environmental, and societal benefits.

City governments, leveraging policy, can lead this shift by engaging public and private stakeholders. This episode, powered by Restream, features the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Strategic Partner Cities—London, New York City, and São Paulo—discussing their progress in advancing circular economy solutions.

This B Corp Global Climate Summit session, part of the Day 2 Africa Regional Session, explores the circular economy. This model aims to eliminate waste, boost resource productivity, and redefine how we design and reuse resources. With food waste alone contributing 3.3 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, and the linear economy's flaws exposed by COVID-19, the circular economy offers a new paradigm with an estimated $4.5 trillion annual economic potential by 2030.

The session will delve into applying circular principles to food waste management, how businesses adopt circularity for resilience, and real-world company case studies. It will also discuss the circular economy's potential for a green post-pandemic recovery. Speakers include Grace Wachori, Martha Nalweyiso, Matt Homewood, Daniel Chege, and Rita Atuti.
