• Circular economy strategies can significantly contribute to COP 29’s climate objectives by advancing sustainable economic growth and resource efficiency. Even so, the development of circular business practices grows slowly, and in global contexts, such as the COP-negotiations, the barriers to a circular economy are rarely highlighted. This seminar will highlight how addressing policy, financial, regulatory, and organizational barriers to circularity can facilitate resource efficiency, extend product lifecycles and contribute to the goals of the Paris Agreement. It will showcase circular solutions already on the market and emphasize the need to integrate circular strategies within COP 29’s policy agenda. 
• The seminar will gather policymakers, business leaders, and financial institutions and serve as a collaborative platform to support circular economy adoption as a crucial pathway ahead.
