Jobs in the Circular Economy Initiative

What is it?

Jobs in the Circular Economy is a joint initiative of Circle Economy, the International Labour Organization and the World Bank Group. It aims to create evidence and tools to unlock the potential of the circular economy for promoting innovation, sustainable enterprise, and ensuring decent work for all.

Our initiative was born from the idea that we need better data and evidence to understand how the circular economy can lead to a more just and inclusive world. This concerns both global progress towards this goal and the challenges and opportunities posed in specific countries, sectors and value chains.

Our goal and strategy


Our overarching goal is to develop compelling evidence on current work in the circular economy and support pathways towards more effective environmental, social and economic policies and interventions which can enable fair and just societies.

Our main objective is to use authoritative data to increase awareness and understanding about opportunities and challenges related to the creation of more and better jobs in the circular economy.
