1. The effects of circular economy approaches are felt outside the region adopting them:

Slide3Background
2. Different regions have different relationships between impacts based on consumption or production

3. Exporting goods and services is responsible for emissions but also value creation
Slide4How might macro-scale effects vary?
Modelling approximation: circular economy approaches replace the need for raw material inputs with alternatives. E.g. refurbishment, material efficiency, reuse, recycling etc.
Supply chain effects assessment based on Multi-regional input-output analysis
Linear, aggregated model
Which regions might be affected?Which regions and sectors cause effects?

Slide11Conclusions
Effect of others adopting it may force adaptation.
Disruption potentially highest for low-income regions, but also greatest scope for benefit
Nations adopting CE approaches generally benefit.
Even if sectoral profit ratios unaffectedGenerally, high-income regions see less employment churn for given level of change.Potential savings per $ vary but can be high.Further research – case studies considering actual challenges in transition.
