Circular Bioeconomy Alliance

Reimagining our cities is a fundamental step to creating a new economy that is powered by nature and prospers in symbiosis with nature. Our CEO Marc Palahí gave a keynote speech at the Building a Planetary Solution: Regenerative Architectural Strategies for a Planet in Crisis at Yale University on 21 February. In it, Marc highlighted the need to rethink urbanisation and the key role forests and nature can play in transforming our urban environments. Read more: https://lnkd.in/daipRwQ5

Today we announce our commitment to the principles of the Circular Bioeconomy Alliance. At Slow, we’re not just brewing coffee and crafting chocolate; we’re cultivating a brighter, regenerative future! By embracing the CBA Principles for Regenerative Landscapes, we're transforming monoculture into thriving agroforests, enriching ecosystems, and uplifting communities. Together with Marc Palahí and CBA, we can reshape the coffee and chocolate industries—one sustainable sip and bite at a time. Join us on this journey to make every indulgence a step towards a healthier planet! #SustainableFuture #RegenerativeAgriculture #CoffeeWithPurpose

Our CEO Marc Palahí will be speaking tomorrow at the Building a Planetary Solution: Regenerative Architectural Strategies for a Planet in Crisis symposium, organised by Alan Organschi at Yale School of Architecture. The symposium brings together leading thinkers and makers from climate, ecosystem, and construction sciences, industrial ecology and manufacturing, design and engineering, as well as finance and policy for a holistic view on creating a new regenerative paradigm for the building sector. Marc will be speaking on the Resilient Forests, Responsive Structures: Signals from Natural Systems panel, together with Andrew Waugh, Tanya Luthi, Kiel Moe, FAAR, FAIA and Lindsey Wikstrom.

The Wildfire Resilient Landscapes Network brings together CBA Affiliate Members to connect unique indigenous and community knowledge and experience in wildfire management with scientific knowledge and tools. Climate change and the way we manage and plan our landscapes is resulting in unprecedented wildfires. The world is witnessing escalating human casualties and serious health impacts, as well as huge economic losses, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and catastrophic loss of the natural world. These new generations of wildfires are exceeding our capacity to suppress them. We need a holistic strategy that minimises the risks of extreme fires breaking out and which also creates resilient landscapes that can recover if a fire should occur. Find out more about the work of the Network, a joint initiative between the CBA and The Commonwealth Secretariat. https://lnkd.in/dExc-hzJ Network members include: Whitefeather Forest Community Resource Management Authority International Savanna Fire Management Initiative Centre de Ciència i Tecnologia Forestal de Catalunya Palladium: Make It Possible @blueforestorg Macquarie University Marc Palahí Antoni Trasobares Rodriguez

I am delighted to welcome Giuseppe Scarascia-Mugnozza and Talia Smith to the CBA team. With these appointments the CBA is enlarging its talent with one of the world’s leading scientists in the agri-forestry domain and a senior expert with proven leadership in developing successful programmes at the nature-food nexus. Our goal is to create an inspiring and talent-dense organisation that in turn unlocks the talent, ambition and action in our network. Looking forward to working with them! https://lnkd.in/eAEfuTci
