Nature is a good example of a circular system, nothing becomes trash that needs to be disposed of, everything is recreated into something new. To keep the global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees, we need to find circular systems for the resources we use. During Climate Breakfast 21, we went from broad brushstrokes in the EU to local initiatives in Karlstad. How can the circular economy contribute more to the climate transition?
We were hosted in this climate breakfast by Anders Wijkman, vice Chairman in the Viable Cities board, Henric Barkman from Karlstad municipality and Elin Larsson at Re:Source.
In 2019, Anders Wijkman and others wrote a paper for an OECD meeting: Circular Economy in Cities requires a Systems Approach.
