This B Corp Global Climate Summit session, part of the Day 2 Africa Regional Session, explores the circular economy. This model aims to eliminate waste, boost resource productivity, and redefine how we design and reuse resources. With food waste alone contributing 3.3 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, and the linear economy's flaws exposed by COVID-19, the circular economy offers a new paradigm with an estimated $4.5 trillion annual economic potential by 2030.

The session will delve into applying circular principles to food waste management, how businesses adopt circularity for resilience, and real-world company case studies. It will also discuss the circular economy's potential for a green post-pandemic recovery. Speakers include Grace Wachori, Martha Nalweyiso, Matt Homewood, Daniel Chege, and Rita Atuti.

This session explores practical ways companies can advance their climate action journey. We will discuss declaring a climate emergency and setting science-based targets.

Learn how businesses can get involved from Tourism Declares. A panel featuring B Corps Legacy Vacation Resorts and Intrepid Travel will share their experiences: why they set science-based targets, their starting points, actions taken, and challenges faced.

The interactive session includes breakout rooms and Q&A. Speakers: Susanne Etti, Leigh DeForest, Lorin Augeri.

The session opens with Karin Hanzi and Dr. Silke Bollmohr introducing regenerative agriculture. A panel discussion will follow, focusing on B Corps' successes and challenges in implementing these practices to combat climate change.
