Intro session of Estonian pavilion: Unlocking the Resources Already Around Us

The world is facing interconnected challenges: climate change, biodiversity loss, increasing pressure on ecosystems, growing demand for food, and rising competition for the resources needed to support industrial development and the clean transition. These challenges are often addressed in isolation, yet they are closely linked through the way societies produce, consume and manage resources. The transition to a circular economy has the potential to mitigate many of these challenges.

Panel Discussion

Carbon - a resource, not nuisance

Around the world, large volumes of industrial residues and mineral-rich waste streams contain valuable raw materials that could be recovered while simultaneously providing opportunities for permanent carbon storage through mineralisation. However, the absence of clear and internationally aligned frameworks for carbon dioxide management, accounting methodologies, certification systems, and transport infrastructure continues to limit investment in carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) solutions. In this session, we will explore the opportunities of using CO₂ as a resource.
