An overview of the event:
The restless expansion of our economies is causing unprecedented crises and threatening our very existence. The 8th International Degrowth Conference, 24—28 August 2021 (online + in-person in the Hague, NL), aims to raise awareness about potential pathways out of these crises.
To no surprise, the Doughnut Model plays a role, too!
As part of the 4-day conference programme, this 90-minutes online sharing session is going to feature six cities and regions (Amsterdam, Belgrade, Berlin, Devon, California, Rio de Janeiro). The speakers of each city/region will share their diverse insights on local doughnut initiatives, including initiation, goals, organising process and recent developments, followed by an interactive Q&A.
Speakers:
- Ana Lavaquial, cofounder LivMundi, an impact network-based movement in Rio de Janeiro
- Jane Brady, co-founder of the Bioregional Learning Centre, convener of the Devon Doughnut Collective
- Jared Ruiz Bybee, California Doughnut Economics Coalition
- Miloš Kovačević, Researcher at the Platform for Theory and Practice of Commons, Belgrade
- Patrick Léon Gross, co-founder Donut Berlin
- Rieta Aliredjo, Social Entrepreneur, Advocate and Activist for Circular and Doughnut Economy, Amsterdam

Further information on the conference:
With its overall theme, Caring Communities for Radical Change, we highlight that care – through solidarity and justice – is central to degrowth as a collective project promoting sustainable, decolonial, feminist and post-capitalist modes of flourishing. The conference will be an invitation to build bridges between social movements, art, research and other practices, bringing together a range of different perspectives and actors.
