Groups and networks gathering: Engaging the political leaders of your place (Past)
Part of a series of gatherings for place-based groups and networks working with Doughnut Economics
Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
In this gathering Leonora Grcheva, DEAL’s Cities and Regions Lead will share some key insights emerging from the local governments engaging with Doughnut Economics and what this means for groups and networks seeking to gain traction with the political leaders of their place.
We also know that every place is unique and in this gathering we will have space to connect with each other on this topic and share the challenges, dilemmas and wins in our respective places and diversity of contexts around the world.
The gathering is for anyone already part of a group or network or anyone looking to create or join a group or network to apply the ideas of Doughnut Economics in their place. If you would like to join, please complete this registration form and we'll send you the zoom details.
Note that this event is repeated for both Asia and Americas time zones to enable people from across the world to participate. For details of all events in the series of gatherings, visit the events page.

I am an author who previously worked in the oil and gas industry and am now a sustainability activist. My first two books focus on the oil, gas and process industries where I outline what is required to enhance the performance of the managed assets. The second book dives into the management of turnarounds which is crucial for the long term success of the company. My third book explores the long term survival of businesses where they have to refocus on renewables to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. My overall focus is on the long term sustainability of businesses. The realignment of fossil fuel companies to become sustainable, using new technologies and ideas, is of particular interest to me. The phasing out of fossil fuels needs careful consideration to minimize the social and environmental impacts while ensuring an economically viable transition to net zero emissions.
