How can we create circular business models that are just and fair? Join us on Wednesday, 2 December, 10:00AM (CET) to explore how businesses and governments can avoid unwanted environmental, social, market and governance blindspots of circular business models to ensure they are just and fair. During the event, we will specifically look at how entrepreneurs and the EU Institutions can avoid blindspots of circular business models and their supply chains, and promote the uptake of business models that are both circular and fair. We will also launch a new report on this topic, with the European Environmental Bureau and The Fair Trade Advocacy. The event is organised by Junior Enterprise Europe, Clube of Rome, the European Environmental Bureau and The Fair Trade Advocacy, with the participation of Circle Economy.

A shift to a circular economy will change job markets remarkably: some jobs will disappear, new jobs will emerge and yet other jobs will change in content. It is therefore important to assess and manage the impacts of the transition to a circular economy on the labour market. This event focuses on the future skills and employment needed for the circular economy. The event will introduce three recent studies on the topic followed by a panel discussion with leading experts. The event is co-organised by Sitra, Circle Economy and IISD.

Given the growing challenges faced by cities in their search for more sustainable communities, Zigurat organizes a one-day conference in which they will showcase smart city projects that have prospered and the barriers they have faced along the way. One of these projects: The circular built environment in Norway, presented by Jordi Pascual (Programme & Business Development Manager - Global Alliances at Circle Economy).

Theoretically, the circular economy can help businesses, governments and communities boost resilience and build back better after the covid-19 pandemic. But how do we turn this potential into action? To move from theory to action, we'd like to invite you to share and discuss case studies and ideas that demonstrate how the circular economy can or is already helping to build resilience. From today until 6 December 2020, we will crowdsource a digital collection of case studies and ideas, and discuss selected examples from this collection during an expert dialogue on 17 December 2020.
