World Circular Economy Forum 2021

Hosted virtually from Canada on 13-15 September, WCEF 2021 will offer three days packed with information, ideas and examples of the circular economy.

  • Game Changer Sessions will explore crosscutting themes to answer a common question: “What transformational steps can we take in the next five years to catalyse the systemic changes required to scale up a global circular economy that is prosperous, inclusive and equitable?
  • Demonstration Sessions will bring the themes of the Game Changer Sessions to life through inspiring examples of the circular economy in action.
  • Accelerator Sessions will be outcome-oriented events hosted by partner organisations on 15 September to link up with the daily work needed for a circular transition. 

The Forum will also feature a virtual Expo Area to spotlight selected circular economy solutions and approaches as well as networking opportunities with circular economy enthusiasts from around the world.
