#ZEROIMPACT

The United Nations Economic and Social Council has identified the circular economy as ‘a tool that presents solutions to some of the world’s most pressing cross-cutting sustainable development challenges.

During SHU2021 we intend to embrace and support digital solutions that facilitate the application of circular economy principles to environmental protection issues, with the goal of protecting, restoring and promoting sustainable use of the Earth’s ecosystem (Goal 15 of the 2030 Agenda) ________________________
