Artificial Intelligence and the Circular Economy in Africa: Key Considerations for a Just Transition

The circular economy model (CEM) has gained traction as an alternative to the current “take, waste, and dispose system” associated with the linear economy. There is also growing hype that the potential industry-wide applications of artificial intelligence (AI) for various use cases can enhance circularity in Africa.

Could the CEM and AI in Africa form the pathway to an African green-digital "twin transition"? Join the discussion with key experts on AI policy, sustainability, data governance, twin transition, and the Circular Economy, on considerations needed to enhance circularity in Africa through leveraging AI.

The webinar was an official side event at the World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF) 2022.
