Accelerating Climate Action through the Circular Economy

Monday, December 5, 2022 9:00 – 10:30 am PT / 12:00 – 1:30 pm ET

Action on climate change and the circular economy work to achieve similar objectives: healthy environments, thriving citizens, and resilient communities. As local governments accelerate action on climate and circularity, they are considering how these efforts can be better integrated for greater impact. At this webinar, leading practitioners will share examples of how the circular economy can help deepen and accelerate progress on climate change, and highlight key pathways forward. (This event is being conducted by The Canadian Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) working to build circular economy knowledge and capacity in the Canadian local government sector.
