Explore the science of net zero and how the circular carbon economy balances carbon dioxide emissions with removals to meet the Paris Agreement targets.
Study the science and evidence of climate change from the IPCC. Explore net zero pathways, the trade-offs of decarbonization, and the costs of decarbonizing fossil fuels and energy systems.
Explore the circular carbon economy by contrasting linear and circular models, and apply the four rs: reuse, recycle, reduce, remove, with carbon capture and direct air capture.
Explore the circular carbon economy index (CCE index), a two-subindex composite indicator that measures a country’s current performance and transition potential toward carbon circularity, using 43 indicators across 64 countries.

This workshop on the Circular Carbon Economy (CCE) provides an in-depth exploration of sustainable practices aimed at addressing climate change and managing carbon emissions. The course is structured into five comprehensive modules, each designed to equip participants with essential knowledge and actionable insights.
Climate Change Overview: The course begins with a foundational understanding of climate change, discussing the science behind it, the role of greenhouse gas emissions, and the implications of international agreements like the Paris Agreement. Participants will learn about the current state of emissions and the urgent need for action.
The CCE Approach: This module delves into the concepts of linear and circular economies, emphasizing the transition from a traditional "take-make-dispose" model to a more sustainable and resource-efficient approach. Participants will explore the significance of carbon management and emerging technologies that contribute to a circular carbon economy.
The CCE Levers: 4Rs: Focusing on the four key strategies—Reduce, Recycle, Remove, and Reuse—this section highlights practical methods for mitigating carbon footprints. Participants will discover innovative strategies and technologies that can be implemented across various sectors to achieve these goals.
Enabling Policies for the CCE: This module examines the policy frameworks necessary for fostering a net-zero economy. It discusses the importance of investment in clean technologies, the role of financial incentives, and the need for collaborative efforts between governments and private sectors to drive innovation and implementation.
Measuring the CCE: The final module introduces the CCE Index, a tool for measuring and comparing progress in carbon management across countries. Participants will engage with case studies and future scenarios, reinforcing the importance of collective action in achieving climate goals.
By participating in this workshop, attendees will gain a holistic understanding of the Circular Carbon Economy and the critical role it plays in creating sustainable solutions for climate change. This course is ideal for professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in advancing their knowledge and skills in carbon management and sustainability.
