Driving Circular Economy and Green Design for Climate Adaptation
About This Course
The circular economy is emerging as a critical pathway for organisations seeking to advance climate adaptation while strengthening long-term competitiveness. Moving beyond linear models, companies are increasingly embedding green design and circular economy principles into core business strategy.
This course focuses on embedding circular economy principles and green design thinking into corporate strategy to strengthen climate adaptation. Participants will explore waste reduction models, material circularity, regenerative design, lifecycle analysis, and sustainable product innovation.
The integration of circular practices across operations, procurement, and product development is also addressed, with a focus on translating design concepts into practical implementation. Participants will develop structured roadmaps that connect circular design strategies with measurable climate adaptation outcomes and lont-term enterprise competitiveness.
