BUILDING ON PREVIOUS FORUMS, WCEF2021 WILL FOCUS ON THE SYSTEM-LEVEL CHANGES, OR “GAME CHANGERS”, NEEDED TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSITION TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY. SEIZING THE CIRCULAR OPPORTUNITY REQUIRES TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE AND COLLECTIVE EFFORTS ON THE PART OF BUSINESSES, POLICY-MAKERS, CIVIL SOCIETY AND OTHERS. HOSTED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NORTH AMERICA, WCEF2021 WILL BRING DYNAMIC NEW VOICES TO THE GLOBAL DEBATE, EXPLORE CIRCULAR OPPORTUNITIES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF RESOURCE-PRODUCING COUNTRIES, AND HIGHLIGHT THE CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY IN COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE AND PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY.
