Co-creation workshop "Towards a just transition to the Circular Economy".
On April 21, the co-creation workshop "Towards a just transition to the Circular Economy" will be held in Barcelona.
The workshop is organised by MedWaves, Eco-union, UAB, Universidade de Vigo, and with the support of the Departament d'Acció Climàtica, Alimentació i Agenda Rural and l'Agència de Residus de Catalunya. The workshop is part of the JUST2CE project funded by the European Union through the H2020 programme.
The aim of the meeting will be to reflect and analyse the impacts of the current transition to a circular economy in relation to four dimensions: a) North-South relations and global environmental justice; b) Employment and productive and reproductive activities; c) Gender dimension; d) Accountability, transparency and participatory governance.
Through the creation of a space for dialogue between actors from public institutions, civil society organisations, the private sector and academia, scenarios for a just transition to a circular economy in Catalonia will be co-created.
The information and analysis resulting from this activity will feed the tools to support public decision-makers, civil society and the private sector to evaluate the main variables with the aim of implementing circular economy practices capable of generating benefits for people, the planet and the economy.
“From Minga’s case to beyond”.
A workshop about integral cooperatives for the Circular Economy is coming in April, organized by our colleagues from Minga.
Minga is an organization part of JUST2CE consortium as a case study. This cooperative has been promoting Circular Economy in the rural context of Portugal for years.
The dates will be from April 26 to April 28, and it will take place in Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal.
In this workshop, Minga proposes a learning experience about Circular Economy practices from bellow.
It will be studied how and why cooperatives may be the ideal organization for circularity and sustainability.
The workshop will be a combination of listening, field trips and debates.
The listening part will be about experiences of different people involved in Minga, scholars, practitioners of the social economy, talking about their experiences, perspectives and knowledge.
The field trip part, will give the opportunity of knowing about the experience of Minga, getting immersed in the socio-ecologies of Monteamor-o-Novo, and meeting members of the social economy in Portugal.
In this workshop it will be explored the possibility of the running of cooperatives and the spreading of circular economy movement.
All participants will be welcome to share their point of view and their own experiences.
If you are interested in participating, or need more information, please contact Minga: [email protected] UNTIL FEBRUARY 10!

ON YOUTUBE: Watch the #WCEF2022 Accelerator Session: "JUST2CE, working towards an inclusive and just transition to Circular Economy"
Last week, several partners of the JUST2CE project met online for the Accelerator session entitled "JUST2CE, working towards an inclusive and just transition to Circular Economy", as part of the World Circular Economy Forum 2022.
Some 40 participants joined the online webinar during which panellists explored the concept of Circular Economy and what transitioning to a Circular Economy implies for North/South relations. They replied to a set of key questions, presenting the topic with a multi-disciplinary approach, and focusing on the political economy and geopolitics of the transition to Circular Economy and how existing power relations might hamper this much needed transition.
The speakers discussed grounded alternatives to reconfigure North/South relations to achieve a just and inclusive transition to Circular Economy and how cooperation on research and innovation is critical to improve global wellbeing, foster good governance and enhance participation to policy-making processes.
The full session is now available on Youtube:

Abstract
A successful circular economy transition relies on inclusiveness and social justice. Two main equity dimensions should be considered for the circular economy transition to be inclusive: rectifying existing injustices of mismanaged waste and pollution that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide on the one hand, whilst anticipating and addressing the negative future impacts on workers and industries that the transition from a linear to circular economy will create, on the other hand. To do so, understanding the impacts of national transitions in Europe on workers and communities in developing countries will be key, notably how to improve economic diversification and retrain workers in producer countries, and how to increase stakeholder engagement.

- identifying enablers and barriers to the implementation of CE practices;
- developing a framework to design ‘Responsible Circular Economy Practices’;
- disseminating project outcomes in international training workshops and
conferences.
Most of the work can be done remotely but physical presence will be required
for some of the tasks (e.g. meetings, workshops, conferences, field work, training, etc.
Tasks:
Together with the project manager and the PI, the postdoc will contribute to the day-to-day management of the project:
- Contribute to the development and implementation of research on circular
economy & environmental justice, in continuous interaction with partner
organizations within and beyond academia;
