About This Collection

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an independent charity with the aim of inspiring a generation to re-think, re-design & build a positive future through the vision of a circular economy. Ellen MacArthur founded the Foundation to better understand how on land too we rely on finite resources in the form of materials, energy and water after her experiences as a world class sailor having sailed over 26,000 miles to become the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe single-handed.

The Circular Economy 100 is a global platform bringing together leading companies, emerging innovators and regions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy over a 1000-day (3 year) period. The Annual Summit was held Wednesday 19 June 2013.

This episode of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Economy Show explores the vital link between a healthy economy and a thriving natural environment. With biodiversity declining, we delve into the Foundation's "Building Prosperity" report. Guests Julia Okatz (Systemiq) and Joss Bleriot (EMF) discuss how cities and built environments can foster a nature-positive circular economy, reducing consumption, regenerating nature, and creating economic opportunities.
