SAVE THE DATE | 4 August 2025 | 9:00 – 12:00 | Geneva city centre
You are invited to join a strategic roundtable to help shape the future role of the Circular Action Hub (CAH) on the eve of the official opening of the UN INC-5.2 negotiations on plastic pollution.
This event is a call to engagement, reinforcing the need for practical tools that can contribute to the successful negotiation and implementation of a global plastics treaty. It aims to ensure that the CAH is strategically positioned to mobilise investment, scale impact, and accelerate local waste recovery and recycling efforts that align with the treaty’s goals and contribute to a just and inclusive circular economy.
Originally developed as a platform to connect grassroots initiatives with essential finance and policy support, the CAH addresses a persistent gap: providing visibility and coordination for community-led circular economy solutions. Waste workers are central to this effort, playing a pivotal role in the transition to a world free of plastic pollution.
This invitation-only session will convene a select group of stakeholders to explore how the CAH can evolve as a matchmaking and visibility tool aligned closely with the treaty’s objectives. Your contributions will directly shape the Hub’s next phase, influencing its strategic direction, engagement methods, and priority features.
The format will include opening remarks, a facilitated working-group discussion, and informal networking over a breakfast reception. Participants will include representatives from donors, corporates, waste collection and recycling projects, and members of the Circular Action Hub advisory board.
