While circular economy practices offer substantial environmental and economic benefits along with local job creation, their implementation requires significant adjustments in working conditions and practices.
This briefing dives into two of the circular building pathways identified as having high social impacts in the Circular Buildings Coalition’s 2024 Four Pathways Report: 1) Build with the Right Materials; and 2) Build Nothing.
These pathways are explored, along with their regulatory and market-level drivers, barriers and the measures needed to safeguard workers.
STICA Climate Action Week 2025 took place just last month - and the interviews with various stakeholders which were released during it are now available. From the impact of climate change on workers to circular textiles made from waste, you're sure to find some in line with your area of interest!

FNADE will ask a highly relevant question: how can we make circularity an asset for competitiveness?
The congress will endeavour to identify levers for developing local production of materials and energy from the waste sector in France and Europe. It will also look at ways to reconcile regulatory simplification with the protection of the environment and human health.
This webinar will explore how circularity is being embedded into wood-based industries.
Hear from leaders across the globe – including the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Arauco, WWF, Greenpeace, CHEP and the FSC – as FSC’s Circularity Hub asks them how circular principles are being applied across sectors, and why they believe keeping natural resources in circulation and reducing reliance on virgin inputs is becoming a baseline for future-proof operations.
