Powered by Restream https://restream.io/ The circular economy has gained a great deal of momentum in the Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) region, with many national and city governments developing and scaling policies, strategies, and roadmaps. As a response, eight institutions have launched the LAC Circular Economy Coalition, aiming to support countries and foster multi-stakeholder collaboration. In this episode, we discuss the coalition with representatives from three of the strategic partners, Adriana Zacarias Farah from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Rose Mwebaza from the United Nations Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), Luisa Santiago, Latin America Lead at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and Rolando Castro, Vice Minister from the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE) of Costa Rica.

Sustainable Development Goal 12 is about "responsible consumption and production". Worldwide consumption and production rely on the use of the natural environment and resources in a way that continues to have destructive impacts on the planet. And if we speak honestly, we know that much of this overconsumption drives the global economy and allows businesses to thrive. To solve big problems like climate change, waste, and pollution, we need a big idea. This big idea is the circular economy, rethinking how we design, make, and use the things we need, from the food we eat to the clothes we wear. We teamed up with Luisa Santiago from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, leaders in developing and promoting the idea of a circular economy, to understand how businesses can, or already do, contribute to SDG 12.

Today, this clean energy revolution is part of everyday life for the 2.4 million Chileans who daily ride Santiago’s subway system, which is shifting to 60 percent renewable electricity and moving the city forward to a sustainable future.
