The Resources Are Already Here

Climate change, biodiversity loss, strained ecosystems, rising food demand and fierce competition for the materials needed for industry and the clean transition are often tackled separately. Yet they share a common root: how societies produce, consume and manage resources. This opening session of the Estonian pavilion shows why the circular economy is the thread connecting these challenges together, and why many of the answers are already within reach, in the materials, nutrients and energy that flow through our societies every day.
