World Circular Economy Forum 2025: A Global Movement for Circular Solutions

Self Help Africa Events

The World Circular Economy Forum 2025 (WCEF2025) is heading to São Paulo, Brazil, on 13–14 May 2025, bringing together global leaders, innovators, and policymakers to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. With online participation open to all, this edition ensures that key discussions reach a global audience, including Zambia.

Why WCEF2025 Matters for Zambia

This year’s forum will spotlight tropical solutions, regenerative economies, and bioeconomy strategies, with a focus on how industries can drive circularity. For Zambia, where the GreenTech4CE project is leading the shift to a Green Circular Digital Economy (GCDE), WCEF2025 is a chance to connect, learn, and innovate. The event is particularly relevant for those involved in critical raw materials (CRMs), waste management, and sustainable mining, areas where Zambia has immense potential.

Join the Conversation Through WCEF Studios

In-person attendance is by invitation only, but global citizens can participate through WCEF Studios. The EU in Zambia will support the event through GreenTech4CE, ensuring accessibility. We are excited to be part of this opportunity, where Zambian entrepreneurs, policymakers, and innovators can engage in WCEF discussions without financial barriers. The EU Delegation in collaboration with the GreenTech4CE project will be organizing a WCEF Zambia Studio, sharing expertise on:

  • Sustainable mining and CRM circularity in Zambia.
  • Green enterprise development and waste management innovations.
  • Financing and market linkages for circular economy businesses.

How Zambians Can Get Involved

The EU-supported WCEF Zambia Studio provides a platform to share insights, connect with global experts, learn about the benefits of the Circular Economy and explore funding opportunities. Whether you are an MSME, start-up, policymaker, or researcher, this is your chance to be part of the global movement shaping a greener, more sustainable Zambia.

Beyond the Studio event, Side events from 1–30 May will offer the chance to further explore circular economy innovations around the globe, offering practical strategies for businesses and policymakers.
