WCEF2024 – Rethinking our futures
We cannot build a future we cannot imagine. To succeed in these complex times and to drive the much-needed fundamental shifts, we need to challenge existing assumptions about the future and explore radically different futures. The audience is in for a treat as we get together to hear how futures thinking and foresight can add to our ability to drive change. The closing plenary of the World Circular Economy Forum 2024 will also reflect on the actions presented over the two days and end with a drum roll: which country will WCEF explore and learn from next.
This session was recorded at the World Circular Economy Forum 2024 at SQUARE Brussels Convention Centre on 16 April 2024. The session was organised by Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Fund.
