I am Doughnut Economics/ Engagement Lead at Climate Action Leeds, working for a 'zero carbon, nature friendly, socially just Leeds by the 2030s'. This is an ambitious, Lottery-funded project linking up local and city-wide communities to act, plan and build a movement of action and change.  We are using Doughnut methodologies to help us do this in a range of ways.  - We set up the Leeds Doughnut Coalition which has been meeting regularly for over 3 years - We carried out the first Leeds Doughnut City Portrait in 2022 with the University of Leeds providing a data baseline for the city: https://www.climateactionleeds.org.uk/leedsdoughnut - We have made 2 short illustrated films - the first is about the Leeds Doughnut here:  - The second short film, 'The Clothes We Wear' is about clothing and fashion through a doughnut lens: https://www.climateactionleeds.org.uk/post/the-clothes-we-wear-cal-launches-fashion-film-at-major-leeds-event  channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@climateactionleeds864 - Working with the Roundhay Environmental Action Project in a Leeds neighbourhood to develop a local doughnut selfie portrait.
