Resilience and the circular economy: Opportunities and risks

This report provides a first structural analysis of the relationship between resilience and the circular economy. It explores how the circular economy increases social-ecological resilience, dives into potential trade-offs between the two and highlights the labour market characteristics  that are prerequisites for both a more circular and resilient economy. Based on these findings, the report gives recommendations to help businesses, governments and educators develop and implement circular economy strategies which enhance resilience.
