BLOXHUB Debates: How do we create an inclusive and socially responsible circular economy?

Evaluation link: https://bit.ly/3ABGpLT

Creating a circular economy has almost exclusively focused on the economic and environmental gains while the social impacts have barely been considered beyond the issue of job creation. Creating a more circular economy can create new sources of inequality in the world. The question is: How do we secure a circular transition that meets the needs of all within the means of our planet? We take a deep dive into the circular transformation from the perspective of social justice and inclusion in terms of distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.

Panelists:
Among the panelists you will find Rebecca Clube, interdisciplinary PhD researcher at the Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial College London.
More speakers are to be announced.

This BLOXHUB Debates will be moderated by Monica Maria Moeskær, Program Director – Cities Lead, Danish Design Center.
