København, Capital Region of Denmark, Denmark

I hold a BSc in Economics (Athens University of Economics and Business) and I'm currently pursuing a Minor in International Relations and Economics (American College of Greece), as a scholarship recipient.  Incoming MPhil in Economics student at National & Kapodistrian University of Athens.  My research interests include #economic development, #ecological economics, #degrowth, #international economics, and #public policy. I've participated in research and policy projects such as ARSIONE, ReSEES, and ESENKA, and I'm currently working on my first academic paper on beyond-GDP economics growth, based on alternative indicators.    My goal is to pursue a research career in economics, with a focus on planet & inequality based policies-relevant questions, and to undertake a PhD in the near future. Beyond academia, I’m actively involved in climate and social justice movements. As a founding member of Fridays for Future, I engage in initiatives promoting fair, inclusive, and sustainable future for the people and planet, with special interest in post growth theories, currently through “Let’s talk about Degrowth Greece.”

I am a current sixth form student with a great interest in economics. Hoping to learn more about the subject and study it at uni soon.

Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands

I am the founder of an impact startup working at the intersection of circular economy, regenerative development, and community-led innovation in Africa and Europe. My work is guided by Doughnut Economics, which we use as a practical tool in our Living Labs and consulting projects. I joined the DEAL Community to connect with others building systems that prioritise life, dignity, and ecological balance. #RegenerativeEconomy #CircularEconomy #LivingLabs #AfricaEurope #CommunityLedTransformation   

Wokingham, England, United Kingdom

I am particularly interested in environmental economics, and if and how green economies can thrive, be that through innovative currencies, or smooth renewable energy being integrated into grids on a greater scale. This is what brought be to Doughnut Economics, which branched out my interests to the other end of the spectrum - basic human needs not being met. I want to go into my economics degree with the right foundations to allow me to learn in the right way, and the book was the perfect start.

Seoul, South Korea

I'm Dr. Benjamin, a systems thinking educator and researcher based in Korea, serving on the Leadership Team of the Pre-College Education SIG within the international System Dynamics Society. I served as President of the Korean System Dynamics Society for four years (2017-2020) and have been the President of System Leadership Institute since 2017.  Currently, I'm actively working as a World Climate Ambassador appointed by Climate Interactive (https://bit.ly/3H6IBnQ), facilitating climate change education through systems thinking approaches. Through my climate education work, I've come to believe that addressing climate challenges fundamentally requires a systemic perspective on economics. This is what brings me to the DEAL Community—I'm eager to learn how doughnut economics can complement and enhance systems thinking methodologies in education. I'm excited to contribute my experience in systems thinking education and leverage the K-12 educational networks I've developed over the past decade in Korea. I believe there's tremendous potential to adapt and spread DEAL educational programs through these established channels, helping Korean students understand the interconnections between economic systems and planetary wellbeing. I look forward to learning from this community's innovative approaches and exploring how we can integrate systemic and regenerative economic thinking in educational contexts.      

Boutersem, Flemish Brabant, Belgium

I'm a newcomer to the whole sustainability and regenerative economics space, still trying to find out how I could help. By trade I'm an Embedded Software Engineer working on signal processing and machine learning algorithms.  For a long time, I've been a passive observer in the state of the world, without a clear philosophy.  Recently, when researching a music project, I ended up digging deeper, trying to finally consolidate my world view, as painful as it is to look at the problems ahead of us straight in the face. I found out about Solarpunk, but wanted something actionable that could get us there. I read with interest about the experiments going on in the ReFi blockchain space (e.g. grassroots economics), and finally read books about Doughnut Economics and System Thinking.  These two resonated deeply, so I thought DEAL was the place to start.

Chile

I'm passionate about creating positive impact. I'm particular interested in regenerative business models. I'd love to collaborate and go deeper into this field, that's why I joined the DEAL Community. I bring innovation, business and tech skills. With over 25 years of experience in technology and innovation, I completed global executive education at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. I've held leadership roles at SAP, General Motors, and BOSCH (in both Brazil and Germany). Currently, I serve as Director of Technology at Vale, a global mining company. I also contribute to impact-driven initiatives as a board member of Fundo Vale, as an advisor to the Coalition for Impact, and as the co-founder of Match4Action in partnership with CrowdDoing.
