PACE

Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy

PACE was created to connect leaders who are committed to creating a circular economy. We catalyze leadership from CEOs, government ministers, and the heads of civil society organizations who have a clear vision and the power to make things happen. We need innovative new ideas. We need to test out what works. And, crucially, we need to see circular models scaling up rapidly. PACE works on projects that are pioneering or scaling the circular economy by connecting the public and private sectors. We affiliate projects led by the PACE community, and we bring leaders together to create new initiatives. The transition to a circular economy must be guided by evidence and science. That’s why PACE works with leading thinkers, researchers, and practitioners. We transform our community’s knowledge into an evidence-based collective action agenda, and identify areas where action needs to be initiated or scaled up. PACE was created in 2018 by the World Economic Forum and is now hosted by the World Resources Institute.
