Emerging Leaders Program
The Emerging Leaders program aims to elevate, cultivate and support the next generation of BIPoC leaders driving the transition to a circular economy. The program creates a pathway into the sustainability industry for students and early-career professionals who face barriers to entry in the field, and wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend Circularity 21.
