The Big Idea: Transitioning to a Circular Economy | Summit 2020

In this Opening Session video, learning from the COV-19 crisis, speakers discussed why applying circular economy thinking is more relevant than ever – focusing on the roles government and business can play in leading the transition. Panelists include Ellen MacArthur Foundation: CEO, Andrew Morlet; Unilever CEO, Alan Jope; Solvay CEO, Ilham Kadri; and COP26 High-Level Champion Nigel Topping.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation Summit brings together business leaders, policymakers, academics, innovators, and pioneers to discuss the transition to a circular economy. At Summit 2020, speakers discussed how circular economy solutions can be scaled at speed to tackle both the COV-19 recovery and global challenges, such as climate change and biodiversity loss.
