This report describes what Circle Economy achieved in 2024.
In 2024, they rolled out a new approach to delivering impact which focused on three key objectives to accelerate the global transition to a circular economy: empowering decision-makers (they provided indicators and evidence to ensure accountability in circular economy ambitions), financial support for solutions (they raised sufficient financial capital for circular and just solutions) and building capacity (this involved equipping key actors with the tools needed to implement circular solutions).
The report gives figures to describe their impact. For instance, they have directly supported over 970 businesses and organisations and trained over 7200 people in circular economy principles.
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.
