Pegasus Park

<h2>Join us at <a href="https://pegasuspark.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Pegasus Park in Dallas</a> for a satellite ImpactNights™ on the Circular Economy, November 17!</h2><h2></h2>We are proud to announce our partnership with the Water Cooler at Pegasus Park to bring the Hunt Institute's ImpactNights programming closer to Dallas communities. On November 17, Pegasus will be hosting ImpactNights: Circular Economy. We sincerely hope you will be able to join us for the conversation and to learn more about the work Pegasus Park is doing to create a hub for innovation in Dallas.The circular economy is a model of production and consumption, which involves resources maintaining their highest value for as long as possible through sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials. In practice, it implies reducing waste. This is a departure from the traditional, linear economic model, which is based on a take-make-consume-throw away pattern.In-person: Check-in around 4:00PM, grab a cup of coffee and network with like-minded professionals. Around 4:30PM, we break out into our subject-specific sessions. At 5:30PM, we wrap things up and everyone is invited to a reception to continue the conversation.Remote: Please designate your intention to attend remote on your RSVP, we will send out information on specific breakout sessions once available.

<h1>Excited to share three breakout sessions!</h1>We will be exploring this timely topic in the usual format of small, expert-led discussion sessions. We are back in person with the remote option available for specified breakout sessions. The breakout sessions are:Are Circular Economy and Inclusive Economy compatible in concept and practice? In other words, is circular economy inclusive, just, and equitable?Circular economy is good for the environment. But is it good for people? Does it grow the pie and create new opportunities for under-resourced people and communities? Circular economy has a tremendous potential to do so and be part of the inclusive economy movement. This group will discuss how to fulfill this potential.The Enabling Ecosystem for the Circular Economy: Critical Role of Impact Finance and Smart PolicyThere are many proven circular economy solutions with track records of significant business benefit in addition to the societal ones. This group will discuss some of the most successful cases, along with the innovative financing mechanisms that play a central role in enabling the scaling of circular solutions.We still have a long way to go - Need for ongoing innovationsWhile the concept of circular economy is well understood, its application remains the exception rather than the norm. This group will discuss promising areas of new innovation with potential to help accelerate the adoption of circular economy practices.
