The International Biochar Initiative (IBI) proposes converting organic waste—from food, gardening, and even sewage—into biochar through baking. This toxic-free, multi-purpose material positively impacts the planet, leading Project Drawdown to rank it among the top 100 ideas for reversing climate change.

This session will explore the science and technology behind biochar, along with the IBI's strategies for communicating its benefits globally.

Technology from the Global North frequently generates waste problems in the Global South. DK Osseo-Asare recognized an opportunity to transform this challenge into a significant benefit for young people in Ghana.

His work, detailed in a globally acclaimed TED talk, focuses on upskilling Ghanaian youth, fostering entrepreneurial opportunities, and eliminating waste streams. This innovative model, exemplified by Agbogbloshie, has garnered international attention.

Join our live discussion to delve deeper into Agbogbloshie's impact and its potential for replication.

Cities are vital for advancing the circular economy, unlocking economic, environmental, and social benefits, especially as two-thirds of the global population will live in urban centers by 2050. Currently, cities face challenges from a "take-make-waste" linear economy. A circular economy offers a critical opportunity to rethink resource use and ensure long-term urban prosperity.

The "Circular Economy in Cities" project focuses on urban systems like buildings, mobility, and products, guiding city governments on implementing circular principles and policies. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, is a global leader accelerating this transition.

Cities are crucial for advancing the circular economy, unlocking economic, environmental, and social benefits. By 2050, most people will live in cities, which currently consume vast resources, generating significant waste and emissions under a linear "take-make-waste" system. A circular economy offers a vital path to rethink resource use, supporting city priorities and prosperity.

The "Circular Economy in Cities" project explores opportunities in urban systems (buildings, mobility, products), guiding city governments on transition strategies and policy.
