Employment in the circular economy: Leveraging circularity to create decent work

The event will present the Circular jobs global baseline report, co-authored by the International Labour Organization, the Circle Economy Foundation, and the World Bank Group. Developed through three years of joint research, this landmark publication offers the first comprehensive global assessment of employment in circular economy activities.

Panellists and speakers will explore how circularity can drive sustainable job creation, improve job quality, and support a just transition that benefits all workers—especially women and those in the informal economy. Participants will gain new insights, evidence, and practical tools to inform policy decisions, strengthen skills development, promote sustainable enterprises, and guide future investment in circular economy transitions around the world.
