The WCEF2025 programme is out!

The World Circular Economy Forum is one of the biggest circular events of the year. WCEF2025 will take place in São Paulo, Brazil on 13-16 May under the heading Tropical solutions for sustainable growth!

The programme has now been released, with a rich selection of plenaries and parallel sessions on 13–14 May.

Plenaries:

• The circular economy as the pathway to climate and nature targets,
• Unlocking a sustainable economy with circular innovations,
• Connecting global and regional efforts for circular trade systems, and
• The circular economy as a tool for global development.  

Parallel sessions are divided into four tracks: nature, materials, people and business. There will be 12 of them, including:

• Forest-based solutions advance circularity and sustainability in value chains,
• Accelerating the just energy transition with a responsible critical minerals lifecycle,
• Perspectives on circular water from the Global South, and
• Redefining a circular built environment.

The list of accelerator sessions, to take place on 15-16 May, is still being drawn up (the ECESP will be hosting a couple!). In-person attendance is by invitation only, but you can now register to attend online. The event will be livestreamed in English and Portuguese.
