To compete and thrive in the 21st century, democracies, and the United States in particular, must develop new national security and economic strategies that address the geopolitics of information. In the 20th century, market capitalist democracies geared infrastructure, energy, trade, and even social policy to protect and advance that era’s key source of power—manufacturing. In this century, democracies must better account for information geopolitics across all dimensions of domestic policy and national strategy.
By convening experts across four panels, the inaugural Harvard Circular Economy Symposium will introduce participants to key circular economy concepts and case studies, explore linkages to finance, policy and business processes, and help forge connections across sectors to jump start the transition to a more sustainable system.
The Circular Economy Symposium at Harvard is a joint effort of multiple Harvard schools and centers, with several HKS students on the organizing team. The Belfer Center's Environment and Natural Resources Program is among the symposium's sponsors.
