This UNEP report outlines what each stakeholder group can do individually and collectively to reach the shared destination of a circular textile sector.

The Circular Economy Competence Framework for Young People is the outcome of research by the Circular Economy-Sustainable Competences for Youth (CESCY) project team. The project has identified the competences that young people need when adopting a circular economy approach.
The CESCY initiative aims to bring together stakeholders with a specific knowledge set to contribute to the creation of a competence framework for youth work on the circular economy.
Based on their findings, the team has created a competence framework that helps young people to take an active role in the transition to circular societies.
