Ladeja Godina Košir, Founder & Executive Director of Circular Change, will moderate a panel at the World Expo in Osaka, as part of the Circular Economy Days programme.
The session will be live-streamed worldwide via the official ECESP platform: Watch here.
As part of the Osaka 2025: Circular Economy Days Programme, the dialogue will explore how global cooperation and circular diplomacy can help build a circular, resilient, and just economy. Redefining value around ecological health, social wellbeing and resilience means moving beyond efficiency to embrace sufficiency, equity, and systemic change.
The discussion will bring together European policymakers, UN leaders, Japanese academics, and voices from youth and civil society to debate how to meet human needs within planetary boundaries, reduce overproduction, and ensure inclusivity.
