Including Social in Circular Umeå

This research paper details a social impact assessment of the circular economy (CE) transition in Umeå, Sweden, examining potential negative consequences across seven social impact categories, specifically focusing on employment, access to services, and participation.

• A social impact assessment in Umeå, Sweden, examined the effects of a circular economy (CE) transition across seven social impact categories, with in-depth exploration of participation, access to services, and employment.
• Stakeholders in Umeå generally perceive the negative impacts of the circular economy to be limited, viewing CE interventions as a 'win-win-win' for people, the economy, and the environment. This perception leads the authors to question if societal consequences were sufficiently considered or if civil society was adequately involved in designing the city's CE strategy.
