As Asian countries have experienced rapid growth, urbanisation, and industrialisation alongside the associated negative environmental impacts of a linear approach (the take-make-waste extractive industrial model), we take a look into the transition to a more Circular Economy in Asia across all industries.
Agenda:
***Panel: Moving from a Linear to Circular Economy***
– Helen Burdett, Circular Economy Innovation Lead at World Economic Forum
– Liepa Olsauskaite, Project Lead at Scale360
– Moderated by Carlo Delantar, Head of Circular Economy at Gobi Partners
Panel: Redesigning the Circular Economy in Asia
– Lerwen Liu, Director of Circular Economy Accelerator at Knowledge Exchange Innovation Center
– Chris Oestereich, Circular Economy Consultant at World Bank Group & Co-Founder of Circular Design Lab
– Amm Virodchaiyan, Co-Founder of MoreLoop
– Moderated by Lakeesha Ransom, Enterprise Engagement Director at Asian Institute of Technology
Gobi Partners’ monthly Sustainability Innovation Series convenes industry leaders from the corporate, finance, policy, and technology communities to discuss and promote sustainability, impact, and ESG in Asia. We strive to educate investors, entrepreneurs, and other key ecosystem players to bridge public and private agendas in tackling global issues and forwarding the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
