Emissions don’t only arise from our use of energy in buildings, in transport, for heating, but also from how we produce and use products and food. 45% of emissions come from the latter and the energy transition alone will not be able to tackle these. We need other solutions too. Systems thinking and a circular economy play a key role in developing these solutions. 


This session will explore some of the ways in which companies from across sectors are beginning to integrate circular economy practices into their work:  the choices, challenges, and opportunities they uncover, the partnerships they need, and the considerations that arise in terms of scope 3 supply chain emissions accounting from circular economy activities.
