Session Description

Circular economy offers a transformative solution by shifting from wasteful linear processes to regenerative systems that preserve environmental and economic value. However, unlocking its full potential requires strong policy frameworks, smart business incentives, and a clear alignment with nature-positive principles. The session will bring together policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders to explore how circular economy strategies can contribute to biodiversity conservation.
