Module 2: Decarbonization & Circular Economy
Closing Loops for a Sustainable Future
Time commitment: 2,5h asynchronous learning + 1,5h live session (also recorded)
The circular economy is more than just recycling—it’s about redesigning systems to close resource loops and reduce dependency on finite materials. This approach is a critical driver for decarbonization, enabling businesses to cut emissions while creating economic value.

Lesson 1: Decarbonisation – Risks, Rewards & Business Strategies
Lesson 2: From Commitment to Action – Core Strategies for Low-Carbon Business
Lesson 3: Ending Plastic Pollution
Lesson 4: From Linear to Circular – Foundations & Frameworks for Business
Lesson 5: Tackling Plastic & Emissions with Circularity
Learning Objectives Module 2
