Scaling the circular economy in Latin-American and the Caribbean

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 have compiled the best moments of our discussion panel on the subject that was streamed live on our channels on 16th February. 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. Find out more about the coalition here: https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/news/lac-circular-economy-coalition-launchesMore episodes of The Circular Economy Show here: https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/our-work/activities/the-circular-economy-showMore about our work here: https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/
