This webinar under the OPPORTUNITY dimension of the Urban Transitions Alliance equity framework looked into pathways for effective city-business collaboration and job creation towards circular economy and wider sustainability goals. Examples from the cities of Glasgow, UK and Pittsburgh, USA showcased how local governments are supporting small businesses contributing to circularity, and how these efforts support social equity through local workforce benefits and re-skilling opportunities for residents in need. This edition is part of a threepart webinar series on the equitable circular economy, hosted in cooperation with Circular Turku.
