World Circular Economy Forum 2022, in Kigali Rwanda
The 6th World Circular Economy Forum WCEF2022 will take place 6–8 December in Kigali, Rwanda, Africa. This year’s forum will focus on how the circular economy can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support climate change adaptation, safeguard biodiversity and bring jobs and well-being to our societies. An online briefing for the media will take place on the eve of the Forum, 5 December 2022.
The WCEF2022 is supporting the global momentum of the UN Climate Change Conference COP27 and Biodiversity Conference COP15 with a powerful tool: the circular economy. Critical environmental issues – climate change, biodiversity loss and shortages of natural resources – are all symptoms of unsustainable production and consumption. It is crucial to address these root causes and implement circular solutions to replace the “make-use-dispose” principles of the linear economy.
