We cannot build a circular economy on linear finance.
We cannot change the world without also changing the way we finance change.

I am not convinced yet that circular economy actually addresses the root cause of our issues and actually does provide solutions that are beneficial.
It is certainly a move in the right direction but dominated by 'greentech' solutions that reduce the vitality of natural systems. We have much to do to move beyond our misplaced reliance on technology.
I am not a luddite - but I know full well that the paradigm that created our problems is behind many of the solutions that provide life saving fads for us to commercialise. The shortage of water in Cape Town is the canary in the cage - Desalination is a distraction!
As for the ranking - all af the above need to be engaged! in their own unique way!
best.
