SUMMARY:Is there a place for Energy from Waste in the Circular Economy? - Onine Event
DESCRIPTION:Recovering energy from waste is a difficult area in Australia. The industry is in its infancy with two plants under construction in Perth\, and four at various stages of planning in Victoria. In NSW\, Government policies make project development a challenging exercise. As the circular economy gains momentum\, many people ask why would energy recovery be necessary\, indeed wouldn’t it in fact encourage the generation of waste? Speakers in this session will look at how energy from waste interacts with a circular economy\, and explore some of the innovations in the field. \nDr. Ron Wainberg\, Technical Director\, MRA Consulting Group \nProf Grzegorz Lisak\, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, Nanyang Technological University Singapore \nRoni Habbal\, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO)\, ScimTek Hydrogen \n Register for online session

SUMMARY:Paradox and pathways to a net zero - Hybrid Session
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia \nAchieving a net-zero global economy by 2050 is technically and economically feasible with existing and emerging technologies which include several pillars such as energy efficiency\, renewable energy\, and CCUS. Nevertheless\, it requires drastic shifts in behavior\, massive policy interventions and major transformational changes to realize the net zero emission\, such as in carbon pricing\, cleaner energy\, green economy\, transition finance and sustainable lifestyle. \nSpeakers\nProf. Ir.

SUMMARY:Partnerships for the Goals - SDG17 - A circular economy marriage between a startup and a stalwart - Online Session
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, at the WCEF (World Circular Economy Forum)\, two Australians shared a coffee and a chat\, where it was initially considered how a local start-up might partner with a stalwart\, to pilot projects for a more circular economy. This partnership was the beginning of what is today\, one of the most award-winning and well-recognised examples of accelerating the circular economy in Australia. Circonomy (formerly: World’s Biggest Garage Sale) and Officeworks formed a strong values-aligned partnership\, with trust and transparency at the core\, which led to Officeworks acquiring a 21% shareholding in Circonomy in 2022. You’ll hear first-hand from the two leaders that led the charge in both organisations\, with both Yas Grigaliunas and Ryan Swenson sharing and showcasing how they began and where they are now\, almost 4 years on. \nTogether they’re throwing away the ‘take-make-waste’ economy and innovating a new economy – one where circularity is the norm\, bringing together leading retailers\, resource recovery partners\, resale channels and everyday Australians\, to together give new life to still useful things. The future is circular\, where nothing goes to waste\, including human potential. \nSpeakers\nYas Grigaliunas\nFounder & Chief Evangelist\nCirconomy \nRyan Swenson\nCEO\nCirconomy \n Register for online session

SUMMARY:The Circular Economy and ESG impact – Navigating the need for impact philanthropy via collaborative partnerships – Online Event
DESCRIPTION:The need for companies to adopt positively impactful Environmental\, Social\, and Governance (ESG) strategies and practices has never been greater. A recent HSBC survey found that only 14% of consumers feel that corporate giving programs for sustainability outcomes is for genuine reasons. Never has there been such a demand for new technology\, research\, and advancements in everything from net-zero initiatives to circular economic transformation from investors\, consumers\, and industry; however\, support for new research lags this demand. \nHow can your company or industry adopt effective ESG strategies? Can the circular economy model garner the most positive impact? What is the role of impact philanthropy and collaborative partnerships to steer action? In short – how can we all step up and build a better future? \nIn this session we will hear from Dr Anna Young-Ferris\, from the University of Sydney Business School\, with over 20 years of experience as a sustainability and climate change accounting specialist. As an award-winning educator\, award-winning researcher\, and consultant\, she is passionate about transforming the business narrative from the single-minded pursuit of profit to advancing a responsible business mindset; understanding that social and environmental impacts are interconnected with financial impacts. Anna holds a PhD is in ESG integration. Her research interest is at the intersection of responsible investment and sustainability accounting\, publishing research in these fields. She was very recently recognized as the recipient of the 2022 Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to Sustainability. \nAnna will discuss the background and evolving ESG landscape and its intersection with circular economy. She will explain the increasing drive towards taking account of both financial impact and societal impact. This will lead into a discussion of impact philanthropy\, where our panel of ESG leaders will discuss their ESG strategies and highlight the important role of collaborative partnerships. \nSpeakers: \nDr Anna Young-Ferris – Lecturer\, University of Sydney Business School \nPanelists: \nMark Alcorn\, Associate Director of Development\, University of Sydney \nAngus Dennis\, Investment Director\, Australian Ethical \nMonica Richter – Senior Manager for Low Carbon Futures at WWF \n Register for online session
