Consulus has been named by the Circular Cities Network (CCN) as its Thinking Solutions Partner during the Shape the World Summit (STWS) at Changi Jewel, Singapore on 21 June 2024.
CCN is an initiative that brings together experts from organizations worldwide to share ideas on making cities sustainable to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. This pioneering global community aims to combat climate change, promote the principles of a circular economy, and facilitate sustainable urban development across the globe.
As the Thinking Solutions Partner and as a global creative change firm, Consulus will help the network in developing strategies that integrate environmental, social, and economic dimensions to create sustainable and resilient cities towards a Circular Economy that provides holistic solutions to pressing modern-day issues. This is in line with the cause of Consulus to impact a global Economy of Communion (EoC).
Moving forward, Shape the World Summit and Circular Cities will be jointly promoted as sister-events to allow more Changemakers to attend both activities and benefit from preferential rates.
In a social media post, Mr. Damian Tang, Founder and CEO of Circular Cities Worldwide, who also participated in the annual Consulus Global School, expressed his gratitude for being invited to STWS 2024 to give his talk on Pivoting Global Collaborations in Uncertain Times.
“Thank you Consulus for being our Circular Cities Network Global Systems Thinking Solutions Partner. We look forward to the exciting journey ahead,” he said.
