«Unlocking Women’s Potential for a Circular and Inclusive Economy»

 


via Zoom

The Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP), UN Women, and the World Bank are organizing the third session in a webinar series exploring the intersection of the circular economy and social inclusion in the lead-up to the Second World Summit for Social Development (Doha, November 2025).

This session, Unlocking Women’s Potential for a Circular and Inclusive Economy, will showcase best practices of women’s leadership in advancing circular economy models across Africa’s high-impact value chains, such as agriculture, textiles, waste management, and renewable energy. The discussion will highlight how gender-responsive approaches can accelerate a just transition that generates jobs, enhances resilience, and fosters inclusive growth.

Join development partners, researchers, policymakers, and grassroots changemakers in shaping a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future.

Voltemos à «Economia Circular» lembrando a importância dos indicadores

 


Assess your company’s contribution to circularity with the Circular Transition Indicators (CTI) Enabling Solutions Guide


«(...)Building accountability systems for a circular economy requires a multi-faceted approach founded on transparent corporate governance mechanisms, robust circularity performance metrics and trustworthy, comparable data. Adopting standardized procedures and controls as part of the transition to a circular economy provides the necessary accountability for both companies and stakeholders in the shift from linear to circular business models. This document proposes a methodology to measure the contribution of solutions to third-party circular performance based on a globally recognized performance measurement system for circularity, the Circular Transition Indicators (CTI).

«LONG LIFE, LOW ENERGY: DESIGNING FOR A CIRCULAR ECONOMY» | exposição na Tate Liverpool | «27 OCTOBER 2023 – SPRING 2024»

 


«An exhibition from the Royal Institute of British Architects about the climate emergency and its relation to architecture

Tate Liverpool and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) are forming a new partnership on Liverpool’s waterfront. Tate Liverpool will move into RIBA North, Mann Island from 27 October 2023 to coincide with the temporary closure of our gallery at the Royal Albert Dock for redevelopment.

The two organisations will collaborate to deliver a programme of temporary exhibitions, family activity, public talks and other events inspired by the unique collections held by RIBA and Tate. The programme will focus on art, architecture and ecology.

The first exhibition in our new home, Long Life, Low Energy: Designing for a Circular Economy draws from RIBAs collection and considers how the design, construction, maintenance, and demolition of buildings is vital in the journey towards a global reduction of carbon emissions.

As Tate Liverpool undergoes a transformation to its Victorian warehouse home, Long Life, Low Energy reveals how architects and designers are innovating to reuse and repurpose anything from small materials to whole buildings and how we might look to the technologies of the future to navigate the climate emergency today».

CONTINUANDO COM A «ECONOMIA CIRCULAR» | do que nos chega do Parlamento Europeu ...

 



Do que lá se pode ler «(...)

What is the circular economy?

The circular economy is a model of production and consumption, which involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible. In this way, the life cycle of products is extended.
In practice, it implies reducing waste to a minimum. When a product reaches the end of its life, its materials are kept within the economy wherever possible thanks to recycling. These can be productively used again and again, thereby creating further value.
This is a departure from the traditional, linear economic model, which is based on a take-make-consume-throw away pattern. This model relies on large quantities of cheap, easily accessible materials and energy.
Also part of this model is planned obsolescence, when a product has been designed to have a limited lifespan to encourage consumers to buy it again. The European Parliament has called for measures to tackle this practice. (...)».

«THE CIRCULARITY GAP REPORT 2023»

 


Veja  aqui

THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS NOW ONLY 7.2% CIRCULAR

The global situation is getting worse year on year—driven by rising material extraction and use.
Rising material extraction has shrunk global circularity: from 9.1% in 2018, to 8.6% 2020, and now 7.2% in 2023. This leaves a huge Circularity Gap: the globe almost exclusively relies on new (virgin) materials.
This means that more than 90% of materials are either wasted, lost or remain unavailable for reuse for years as they are locked into long-lasting stock such as buildings and machinery.

«With the right interventions, Norway could increase its circularity up twenty times»

 



«A circular economy can boost economic and social prosperity within planetary boundaries. Oslo wants to be a frontrunner in reducing climate impact and material footprint, scaling up circular innovation and making it easier for consumers to make circular choices. This report provides an important measurement of circularity in Norway and shows us how to close the Circularity Gap through close collaboration between national and local governments, businesses and citizens».Raymond Johansen

«CITIES IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY: The Role of Digital Technology»



Um excerto:
«(...)
With its stated vision to accelerate the transition towards a circular economy, the Foundation directs its activities towards the most catalytic actions and actors. As such, the Foundation focuses on cities due to their role in shaping the global economy, with 54% of the world’s population living in urban areas and accounting for 85% of global GDP generation. Cities are also aggregators of materials and nutrients, accounting for 75% of natural resource consumption, 50% of global waste production, and 60-80% of greenhouse gas emissions. This combination of factors creates a unique context for the transition to a circular economy both in terms of challenges and opportunities. The Foundation has been working with its global partner Google to explore the crucial role of technology in enabling key aspects of the transition towards the circular economy in cities. (...)».
