Stakeholders from business, science & research and governments were equally represented (60% of participants), and also students, NGOs, and international organizations joined us.
Over the 3 days, the participants had the chance to visit 7 circular sites in Antwerp and in Ghent.
The WRF’19 conference has boosted our common knowledge about the circular economy approach and how to make it work. It has inspired us
all to keep fighting and to keep building a sustainable future together[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_space=”remove_padding_top”][vc_column][rev_slider slidertitle=”WRF2019 hosts” alias=”wrf2021-hosts-1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” row_space=”remove_padding”][vc_column][gva_block_heading title=”WRF’19 Conference in Numbers” align=”align-left” subtitle=”In partnership with Switzerland and Belgium”][/gva_block_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/3″][gva_counter title=”PARTICIPANTS” icon=”gv-icon-433″ number=”750″ icon_color=”#ffc800″ el_class=”font: Montserrat”][/gva_counter][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][gva_counter title=”COUNTRIES” icon=”gv-icon-1142″ number=”60″ icon_color=”#ffc800″ el_class=”font: Montserrat”][/gva_counter][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][gva_counter title=”WORKSHOPS” icon=”gv-icon-39″ number=”41″ icon_color=”#ffc800″ el_class=”font: Montserrat”][/gva_counter][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” row_space=”remove_padding_bottom” css=”.vc_custom_1655278661325{background-color: #d8e6f0 !important;}”][vc_column][gva_block_heading title=”5 Conclusions To Keep In Mind” align=”align-left” subtitle=”WRF Chairs:”][/gva_block_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_space=”remove_padding_top” css=”.vc_custom_1655278668377{background-color: #d8e6f0 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/5″][gva_icon_box title=”The circular economy is an enabler for climate policy” icon_position=”top-center v2″ image=”22424″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][gva_icon_box title=”Cities are pioneers of circular change” icon_position=”top-center v2″ image=”22494″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][gva_icon_box title=”Soil and land are in need of a supporting framework” icon_position=”top-center v2″ image=”22491″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][gva_icon_box title=”Lifestyles have to change radically over the next decades” icon_position=”top-center v2″ image=”22490″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][gva_icon_box title=”The transition to a circular economy needs coordinated global action” icon_position=”top-center v2″ image=”22492″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” row_space=”remove_padding_bottom”][vc_column][gva_block_heading title=”Sponsors & Partners” align=”align-left”][/gva_block_heading][rev_slider slidertitle=”WRF2019 sponsors” alias=”wrf2021-partners-1-11″ offset=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” row_space=”remove_padding_bottom”][vc_column][gva_block_heading title=”Interested in more?” align=”align-left”][/gva_block_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”22485″ img_size=”300×420″ alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]If you would like to know more about the Conference and the key takeaways we had, follow the link below.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Read the Report” shape=”square” color=”primary” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wrforum.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F10%2Fwrf-2019-ports-in-a-low-carbon-and-circular-economy-en-1.pdf|target:_blank” css=”.vc_custom_1666623856186{padding-top: 10px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row content_placement=”middle” row_space=”remove_padding_bottom”][vc_column][gva_block_heading title=”Impressions from the Conference” align=”align-left”][/gva_block_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][gva_box_video photo=”22485″]https://www.wrforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/2019-OVAM-WRF-slot-2.mp4[/gva_box_video][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
