*Summary*

   - Considerations of justice and social equity are as important for the
   circular economy transition as they are in the contexts of low-carbon
   transitions and digitalization of the economy. This paper sets out the just
   transition approach, and its relevance in climate change and energy
   transition debates.

   - The prevailing economic model is linear, in that resources are
   extracted, transformed into products, used, and finally discarded. In
   contrast, the circular economy recognizes that natural resources are
   finite, and aims to keep the materials in products in circulation for as
   long as possible: reusing, repairing, remanufacturing, sharing and
   recycling. The concept of the circular economy is largely focused on
   developing new technologies and businesses to enable keeping materials in
   circulation, as well as the notions of ‘designing out’ waste and restoring
   natural systems.

   - While this is good for the environment, many low- and middle-income
   countries that rely heavily on ‘linear’ sectors such as mining,
   manufacturing of non-repairable fast-moving consumer goods, textiles and
   agriculture, and the export of these commodities to higher-income
   countries, are likely to be negatively affected by a shift to circularity.

   - A just transition framework for the circular economy can identify
   opportunities that reduce waste and stimulate product innovation, while at
   the same time contributing positively to sustainable human development. And
   a just transition is needed to reduce inequalities within and between
   countries, and to ensure that the commitment of the UN Sustainable
   Development Goals to leave no one behind is fulfilled.

   - This research paper was launched during the inaugural Chatham House
   Circular Economy Conference that took place online on 1-2 April. You can
   follow the discussions on social media from the event by following the
   hashtag #CHCircular. The agenda and full list of speakers for the event can
