Description

From a multidisciplinary perspective, this panel discussion on 23 March at 6pm will explore the international dynamics related to the acceleration towards a circular economy. In particular, how the circular economy will change patterns of international trade, cooperation and development across the world along with why we may need to rethink conceptions of globalisation and repurpose international organisations.

This event promises a wide-ranging and thought-provoking discussion on this exciting area of transformative change already in its antecedents across the world to end natural-resource exploitation, combat climate change and protect the natural environment. The School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh looks forward to welcoming speakers from think-tanks, policymaking, NGOs and academia.
