We need circular economy skills to tackle climate change, to stop the waste of natural resources and to defend natural diversity.</p> <p>The Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra and more than 50 Finnish educational institutions, teaching organisations and companies have planned and piloted circular economy teaching materials and educational packages for primary school, upper secondary school, vocational school and higher education. Most of the material was produced in Finnish, but English can also be found in some sets of material.
