Given the current COVID and socio-economic crisis, there is a need to ensure that the transition to the circular economy is a just transition.
Circular economy jobs are the binding factor between environmental sustainability and a just transition.

It will be accompanied by perspective from cities in several countries, such as Mexico City, Mexico, Bogor, Indonesia, and Morocco
