In conclusion, Circular Economy has become a necessity for both governments, companies, and entrepreneurs and has even become a source of sustainable business opportunities and generating value from waste - maximizing the value of products over time. Circular Economy will be committed to providing new job opportunities and opening new economic horizons.
Implementing Circular Economy could help in generating up to $4.5 trillion and that would be as an additional income by 2030. This is in reference to a recent research that had been carried out by Accenture (NYSE: ACN) which then deduced that Circular Business Models could aid in decoupling resource consumption with economic growth whereas competitiveness would see a marked rise.
This is between 4-5% of the projected Gross Global Domestic Product (GDP), which is more than the entire German Economy today (the fourth largest in the world).
The transition to a circular economy could take quite some time, and the effort will be arduous. However, there are huge benefits and opportunities at our disposal. We must lead this transformation to protect our prosperity, well-being as humans, as well as the climate and the planet.
We look forward to 2030 with a thriving economy fueled by growth on all levels.
Be involved in accelerating this shift to a circular economy through your business model, and start now!
Words have always been an inspiration akin to an adventure to be sought out and lived. Seeking knowledge was always the goal and that created the analytical mindset that I implement today. It also led to creating new paths in my life that had been beyond the realm of the norm – the creation of words is just one of them.
Perhaps that continuous search for knowledge along with a background in academic law which took me on the path that I am now following – environmental law. I have implemented all that along with experience in management, strategic planning, change management, and businesses development – building work experience that surpasses 14 years, in different industrial sectors in the Middle East.
Having held numerous leadership positions in UAE and the Middle East, I served as Executive director of Green Touches, Dubai 2015 – 2020, a step in following my vocation in sustainability and circular economy – this is not just an interest but a vision that I strive to achieve.
Having backed that up with formal study, I went on to found Mover-SDGs - an initiative that aims to link all those who plan to be part of such an endeavor.
To that end, I believe in the power and potential of ordinary people; my dream is that each individual on this planet becomes a Global Human – with a joint human value.
