Circularity & Zero Waste Stage – Climate Innovation Forum

Guildhall London EC2V 5AE

About this Event

The Circularity & Zero Waste Stage at the Climate Innovation Forum will bring together policymakers, practitioners, investors and innovators to showcase circular models and zero-waste practices already moving from principle to implementation.

Nearly half of global emissions stem from how we make and use materials, products and food – making a fundamental shift to circular, zero-waste systems essential to delivering climate action at scale.

The full day programme is being run in partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, WRAP and Zero Waste Foundation, and will focus on three key areas: critical minerals, food and textiles. It will explore the policy and finance levers turning circular models into competitive advantage, and what implementation actually looks like at scale.

The Circularity & Zero Waste Stage will build momentum towards COP31, where the Türkiye Presidency have committed to spotlighting the role of zero waste. It is part of the Climate Innovation Forum, the opening flagship event of London Climate Action Week 2026, taking place on Monday 22 June in London’s historic Guildhall.
