Reducing Climate Footprint and Building Resilience.

In the face of climate change, the circular economy offers a powerful framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating environmental impact, as well as building resiliency. By shifting from linear “take-make-dispose” models to a regenerative approach that maximizes resource efficiency, circular practices can significantly cut down our climate footprint and make us more self-sufficient. This seminar will explore the practical strategies, challenges, and benefits of a circular economy in addressing these urgent environmental issues.

Welcome

Food Preparedness

Circular economy is in the very backbone of self-sufficiency. And the self-sufficiency of food is one of the corner-stones of resilience.

Meira-Pia talks about the circularity of food production in the region, in regards to the project “Beredskap i Österbotten 2.0” (Preparedness in Ostrobothnia 2.0).

Industrial Resilience in Times of Resource Uncertainty

A lot of companies are reliant on the mineral, steel, and chemical industries. How can these companies prepare for a worst-case scenario, when the raw material they need perhaps is no longer available?

Sari Tasa, senior adviser at the Finnish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment gives her opinion on the connection between circularity, sustainability and resilience, regarding these matters.
