ABOUT THE HOST
Hi, I'm Katie Whalen, founder of In the Loop Games AB. I aim to make education for sustainable development understandable and fun, and my first game-based learning tool was the IN THE LOOP game. I'm finishing a PhD at Lund University where I researched business models for circular economy as part of the MISTRA REES project.
HIGHLIGHTS
My top five takeaways from the WCEF2019:
- CE has truly become a global topic.
- . Design is crucial if CE is going to succeed.
- Consumers can make or break CE business models.
- What kind of CE do we want to create? Centralized or Distributive?
- We still have room to improve if we want to make a systemic change.
