This session will explore how circular and resilient systems can contribute to climate action across different contexts. The dialogue will showcase innovative initiatives in food loss and waste reduction, bioeconomy, and efforts to foster circularity in food systems and sustainable urban development. Participants will discuss key opportunities, challenges, and lessons learned that can inspire future policies and strengthen international cooperation. By sharing local solutions, the discussion aims to highlight how circular practices can drive climate action and support more equitable, regenerative economies worldwide.

Event objectives

Integrating circular food systems into multi-level public policies: Encourage the inclusion of circular practices (waste reduction, resource efficiency, urban-rural integration) across municipal, state, and national policies, fostering alignment and synergy between levels of government.

Promoting circular approaches in post-harvest management to reduce food loss, enhance resource efficiency, and support regenerative food systems.

Key outcomes

Shared knowledge and experiences: Participants will exchange successful cases of circular food systems implementation, identifying enablers and barriers for replication in Latin American, African, and Nordic regions.

Share models and partnerships that apply circular post-harvest solutions, strengthening climate resilience and sustainable food systems.
