However, it serves to show that we need to include the concept of circularity in the supply chain – the idea of ‘cradle to cradle’ – if we want to strive for a just energy transition and the inclusion of all parts of society.   Naomi van den Berg is a MSc student at Wageningen University, studying Forest & Nature Conservation. Her main interests are modelling chemical cycling and population dynamics in forest ecosystems, and wildlife ecology. She strives for a career that combines both science and policy-making. She is super happy to have gotten the opportunity to represent IFSA and to push for inclusion of forests in all kinds of discussions at COP23. Forests for the win!]]>
