Based on this analysis, the report outlines future pathways in three priority value chains – construction, the bioeconomy and capital equipment, such as decommissioning energy infrastructure from oil rigs to wind turbines. This report provides information and ideas to help a range of agencies including governments, enterprise organisations, businesses and universities to collaborate to create a new circular, sustainable workforce.

This report offers useful insights for preparing an action plan to create and promote circular jobs required for the implementation and maintenance of CSS. For instance, it offers ideas on what educational and training programmes can be necessary in the transition to a more circular economy. Cities and regions can also benefit from reflecting on the Baseline Employment Analysis in this report for identifying relevant sectors and stakeholders which currently hold the most potential for the creation or diversification of circular jobs therein. Specifically the ‘Regional Circular Jobs’ section offers cities and regions a practical example/framework of how the strengths and weaknesses of different regions can be assessed and analysed as a starting point in their circularity journey. As it offers insights for both public administration bodies and businesses, this report can facilitate the implementation of CSS at local/regional level by stimulating further cooperation by these different governance levels. While the report focuses on three main sectors (construction, manufacturing, and bioeconomy), the insights it provides can be useful and inspirational for many other sectors as well, both in the Mapping and the Designing phases of their CCRI Methodology.
