08 Nov 2017 --- The 2017 UN Climate Conference has kicked off in Bonn this week, once again bringing together leaders of national governments, NGOs and civil society to discuss the need to bolster climate action to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Change Agreement and combat such pressing matters as sustainability and climatic loss and damage. The food and beverage industry, too, has seen environmental issues and sustainability become fixed concerns, with the notion of a circular economy, in particular, starting to capture the attention.
