Canadian Circular Economy Summit 2023

Presented by Circular Economy Leadership Canada (CELC) and the Circular Innovation Council (CIC), in collaboration with other Canadian circular economy leaders, the Canadian Circular Economy Summit will provide an opportunity for Canadian circular economy (CE) champions to come together in-person, share leading efforts and activities, and to identify the solutions, innovations, and cross-sectoral collaborations necessary for accelerating the transition to a CE in Canada.

Given the urgency of environmental issues and Canada’s net zero targets, the Canadian Circular Economy Summit will explore the role of the CE in addressing Canada’s environmental commitments and create and foster intersections between CE strategies and Canada’s climate change and biodiversity agendas.

Topics include:

• Advancing a cross-sectoral CE innovation ecosystem and partnerships
• Research, data / information, and knowledge dissemination
• Measuring CE impact and outcomes
• Business barriers and opportunities, including CE supply chains
• Policy, regulation, and procurement as enablers
• Creating a CE funding and finance ecosystem
• Roles of key actors: business, governments, cities, academia, NGOs, investors
• Just transition, equity, diversity, and inclusion
