IS4CE Jan 2022 Update
2nd IS4CE Conference POSTPONEMENT to Autumn 2022
With COVID still circulating in different forms we have decided to defer. We are keen to have the benefits of a face to face or at least hybrid conference. The theme remains the same Systemic Approaches to a Circular Economy. Further updates in February.
-----------------
February 9th 2022 Late Winter Webinar
Emma Fromberg Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) interviews Ken Webster and Craig Johnson on their new book ABC&D Creating a Regenerative Circular Economy for All which was released late in 2021.
The book is described an attempt to build a more satisfying and a more integrated framework around the notion of a circular economy. It is looking through the lens of food systems and systems thinking to explore a CE at all scales, and eco-effective not just efficient in the use of resources. It tackles the social aspect and another frequently ignored element: money, banks and debt as drivers of resource consumption and exhaustion.
Interview and broader discussion with attendees led by Emma Fromberg. Link will be found in Members area
Topic: Moving the CE discussion forward.
Time: 03.30 pm LONDON
Format: Zoom
Building the Network - Call for Volunteers
IS4CE is establishing working groups to further activity within a number of key arenas. If members wish to put themselves forward to help shape and deliver IS4CE programmes please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. The key working groups at this stage are:
• Conferences and Events
• Social Media and Communications
• Membership Support and Adminstration (Secretariat) including Technical support for website
• Ideation/ Special Interest Groups
• Knowledge sharing/Education and Training
The expectation will be that working groups will be action orientated and limited to approximately 6 members for ease of working.
A special someone is invited to manage the networking and liaison between administration and working groups and the temporary board.

COVID-19
Clearly the path of the virus is uncertain. We are working on the basis of not being able to run a standard face to face event as planned this year. We feel a fully digital event does not provide a full experience for our Members and therefore we have postpones until early next year the full conference which will be face to face and also online. Because of this, we have instead been working on a number of online summer workshops for our members. This information will be regularly updated and is currently valid from 15th April 2020. Please keep checking back for updates.
