The circular economy provides opportunities for businesses to address not just climate change but also biodiversity. This is key both for managing risks from disruptions and ensuring future profits from species yet unknown to us. An economic transformation is needed to ensure a future within the planetary boundaries – which is a necessity for human well-being. Circular solutions can tackle biodiversity loss in an economically viable way by giving us more value from what we have, not least by designing out pollution, reducing land use and keeping things in the economy.
The session will present results from recent studies that explore the relationship between the circular economy and biodiversity and showcase viable circular business cases that address the loss of biodiversity. Improving the state of natural habitats and addressing the loss of biodiversity is complex, but it is possible. The session will also discuss the data and indicators required to measure the impact of businesses on biodiversity from a business and investor perspective.
This event is an Accelerator Session at the World Circular Economy Forum 2021.
