The circular economy is rapidly becoming a reality across diverse sectors. In this episode, Seb discusses four key stories: rethinking product design for tech like iPhones, boosting global copper recycling rates, consumers' growing attention to eco-friendly ads, and a major brand implementing digital product passports for clothing.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity promoting a circular economy that eliminates waste and regenerates nature, invites you to explore these topics further and engage with their work. Find more resources and connect with the Foundation:

The increasing use of digital technologies globally raises concerns about their impact on employment and skills. While automation replaces certain tasks, it also creates new jobs demanding updated skills, requiring millions to reskill or upskill.

This session will address how digital transformation impacts jobs and skills development, exploring core challenges, opportunities, and innovative strategies to enhance global workforce capabilities. It will highlight best practices for fostering digital skills, considering youth, women, and aging workers.

Moderated by Mr. Juan Iván Martín Lataix (International Labour Organization), the panel features experts from Stanford University, Mexico, Gabon, and Kenya, offering diverse perspectives on digital skills for the future of work.

Join Pathways to Planetary Health for a discussion with Rebecca Henderson (Harvard University) and Jonathan F.P. Rose. They will explore modern capitalism's failings and how purpose-driven businesses can foster sustainable, ethical economies with motivated personnel. Henderson highlights capitalism's success but also its self-destructive risk, asserting that purpose is crucial.

Cutting-edge research shows that firms prioritizing social value over pure profit are significantly more productive and creative, driving essential social and political change. This interactive online event is part of the Garrison Institute’s Forum on Pathways to Planetary Health (PPH), which examines the moral and behavioral dimensions of regenerative solutions.

The UK Business Group Alliance for Net Zero (BGA) hosted a session at COP26 in Glasgow on November 2, 2021. Coordinated by CLG UK, the BGA is a network of leading business groups dedicated to increasing political and business ambition for the UK's 2050 net zero emissions target.

This session explored the challenges and opportunities of a whole-economy shift to net zero. It featured high-level input from BEIS and leaders of the UK's five largest business groups: the Confederation of British Industries, Make UK, British Chambers of Commerce, Federation of Small Businesses, and Institute of Directors, discussing actions to meet the target.

The Garrison Institute's first 2022 Pathways to Planetary Health (PPH) Forum, recorded on January 25, featured Dr. Haley Mellin (Art-to-Acres, Conserve.org) and Dr. Steven Brumby (Impact Observatory). Joined by co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose, they discussed innovative large-scale conservation, biodiversity's role in planetary health, and visualization to support these goals.

The event focused on the "Half-Earth" pathway, which emphasizes conserving 50% of terrestrial and ocean areas by 2050 in biodiversity-rich zones and connecting corridors. This aims to stabilize life and climate, though it is one necessary component of planetary health, not singularly sufficient. Learn more about all four PPH pathways and events here.
