Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
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

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.

As an individual, how can I influence organisations to adopt these 'thrive and regenerate' practices and see the inherent interest in doing so ? How can changed business models be reinforced by policy at national and European levels? How can investors and major donors who help shape policy see what's in it for them?

My belief in the power of individuals to effect positive change led to a career in fundraising with Habitat for Humanity in Toronto, and since 2007 with the University of Toronto. At my church, i led a refugee sponsorship initiative, and founded a foot care program for homeless guests. I am also a founder of the volunteer-run book store which to date has contributed over $1.4M to the Toronto Public Library. In 2020 i joined the board of directors of Leadnow, a citizen-powered organization dedicated to a more just and equitable Canada. My family and i call Toronto home.

I'm retired and am heavily involved in trying to influence our politicians to act, rather than just plan, around the climate crisis issue. I also volunteer with Fair Vote Toronto, a division of FVCanada to make others realize that a majority of seats isn't the same thing as a majority of the voting population.
