On Thursday, we have the second in the series of How Resilient is Cambridge?

This time the focus is on reuse and the circular economy.

How Resilient is Cambridge? There's a series of evenings that are the start of a public conversation about the challenges and opportunities that Cambridge faces, from a systems thinking perspective. Hear presentations from a selected panel of experts on each topic, and ask your questions.
