In 2022, the Nordic Circular Hotspot launched a new flagship initiative, the Nordic Circular Transition Groups. These working groups focus on enabling and advancing the circular transition within specific sectors or topics. In this article, we have a look at what has happened in the past year and introduce new Transition Groups — many of which are currently looking for new members!

The building, construction and real estate industry globally accounts for 40% of emissions, resource use and energy consumption. This gives it a key role in the circular transition and is one of the reasons why the Nordic Circular Hotspot has chosen it as the focus of a pilot Transition Group.
