Circular Change Featured in Brazil’s Retrospectiva Circular 2025 Newsletter
Circular Change is featured in the Retrospectiva Circular 2025 newsletter published by leading Brazilian circular economy organisations — Exchange 4 Change Brasil, Hub de Economia Circular Brasil, and IBEC – Instituto Brasileiro de Economia Circular.
The annual newsletter reflects on key connections, actions and international collaborations that shaped Brazil’s circular economy agenda in 2025 — a year strongly marked by global dialogue and cross-regional partnerships.
Circular Change’s Role in Brazil in 2025
In 2025, Ladeja Godina Košir, Founder of Circular Change and Co-Chair of the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (ECESP) took part in several strategic moments in Brazil as part of Circular Change’s global engagement.
At the World Circular Economy Forum 2025 in São Paulo, Ladeja joined the EU delegation and moderated one of the workshops shaping priorities for the EU Circular Economy Resource Centre, led by Sitra. Through this role, she actively contributed to discussions on international outreach, cooperation, and the future positioning of European circular economy expertise worldwide.
She also participated in two panels hosted by Exchange4Change Brasil, further strengthening a collaboration that began almost a decade ago. This work built directly on the momentum created during the Brazil Circular Hotspot launch in November 2024, where Circular Change was also present.
Advancing Circular Diplomacy
During the Nordic Night, Ladeja welcomed the signing of a formal cooperation agreement between Nordic countries and Exchange4Change Brasil — a significant milestone in circular diplomacy and a tangible outcome of long-standing collaboration with the Nordic Circular Hotspot.
As part of the same mission, Circular Change deepened ties with the SLOBRAZ platform, reinforcing cultural and professional bridges between Slovenia and Brazil and opening new opportunities for joint initiatives.
Part of Circular Change’s Global Vision
These engagements in Brazil are an integral part of Circular Change’s broader global strategy — bridging the Global North and Global South, fostering trust-based partnerships, and supporting a just, inclusive and internationally connected circular transition.
Being featured in the Retrospectiva Circular 2025 highlights the importance of long-term collaboration, shared values and sustained dialogue in turning circular ambition into action — across regions, sectors and cultures.
