COP31 places zero waste at the core of its implementation agenda, highlighting how important waste reduction and circularity are in tackling the climate crisis. Making zero waste initiatives work on the ground takes strong collaboration between public and private sectors. Moving beyond high-level commitment, this event explores how partnerships can help scale up zero waste efforts effectively.
Through an expert panel and interactive breakout sessions, we’ll dive into the connection between zero waste and climate action, take a closer look at Switzerland’s changing landscape, and discuss sustainable product design and readiness for upcoming regulations.
