1. Introduction

1.1. Objectives

This research aims to give recommendations on how local public authorities and the Nordic Council of Ministers can impact circularity in the construction field through advocacy, guidance, and financing.
The specific research questions were as follows:
  • What measures should the public sector take to accelerate circularity in the markets?
  • What was of Nordic-level interest, and what should be considered at a local/national level?
  • How could the Nordics influence EU decision-making processes?
  • How could contributions from the Nordic Council of Ministers to the development of circular construction at Nordic and local levels be facilitated, and what aspects should it be prioritized?
