Circularity & Informality: Redefining Narratives
Circularity & Informality: Redefining Narratives
October 1, 2024
The white paper Circularity & Informality: Redefining Narratives explores the intersections between informal economies and circular systems. Developed through a partnership between UNDP Accelerator Labs, IKEA Social Entrepreneurship, and Ashoka, it draws on insights from grassroots entrepreneurs, IKEA co-workers, Accelerator Lab members, social entrepreneurs and other key stakeholders. Using collective intelligence methods like "campfire conversations," it uncovers important lessons, particularly the often-overlooked role of informal workers in advancing circularity.
