The circular economy in debate at the Lycée français de New York

And if the circular economy was the solution to save the planet? This is the question at the center of the debate Monday, October 21 at the French High School in New York.

Highly fashionable, the circular economy advocates a mode of production and consumption articulated around the optimization of the use of natural resources to avoid the waste of raw materials and non-renewable energy sources. In short, do more and better with less.

The debate moderated by former journalist Jean-Christian Agid will bring together Farah Albani (Policy Advisor, Office of Sustainable Development of the City of New York City), Meriem Hammoutene (US market director, Loop at TerraCycle), Frédéric Glanois ( Head of Economic and Financial Service of the French Permanent Representation to the UN) and Sam Loni (Manager of Partnerships, UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network).
