Interested in politics since I was at school. I am socialised Muslim caring for the planet and for people, would like to change how we look upon each other e.g looking at peoples colour or language or religion and making a hatred comment against  them! Look at how the country is made to look at humans cross the channel and many dying. Look at Palestine how many years can this go on for? Look at Africa Look at Fires & Floods.  WE NEED A CHANGE - HOW I DON'T KNOW - WHEN I DON'T KNOW - BUT IT HAS TO HAPPEN

Considerando que no es suficiente sostener ni restaurar el nivel de degradación y alteración que sufren los ecosistemas de nuestro Planeta en la actualidad y que la innovación e investigación de los procesos educativos puede cumplir un importante rol en el impulso de las transiciones que debemos realizar lo antes posible, actualmente me dedico a investigar y formar equipos de agentes sociales en el desarrollo e implementación de programas educativos regenerativos. En Colombia y otros países de América Latina, he cocreado y coordinado diversas iniciativas cuyo mejor resultado ha sido la cualificación medible y sostenible de apuestas pedagógicas, propuestas curriculares, sistemas de evaluación y procesos de formación profesional, basados en evidencia científica actualizada y en la lectura compleja de los contextos de aplicación.

Fribourg, Switzerland

Hello! I am committed to helping advance the vision of Doughnut Economics in two ways:  • as co-president of the Swiss Donut Economics Network I am contributing to the cocreation of a platform in Switzerland. • as a consultant and advisor I offer my expertise and professional experience with a special focus on the doughnut for cities & regions, communities and academia.   I am a process facilitator, mediator, project manager, and guest lecturer. My understanding of sustainability has continuously evolved through my work in climate justice, human rights, international cooperation, corporate responsibility, and social entrepreneurship. Today, my primary focus is on contributing to the goal of ensuring a "good life for all within planetary boundaries." I look forward to being in touch!

London

As an economics undergraduate I became very disenchanted by the traditional economic theories and decided not to pursue a career in the area. Having read donut economics back in 2017 and recently discovering DEAL, I’m looking for new ways to contribute towards a community which is looking to redirect society towards policies that improve lives in a more sustainable,  equitable and holistic way. #netzero #carboncapture

International School Principal 

Oria, Almeria, Spain

Currently studying permaculture design with Geoff Lawton. An international school teacher with over 20 yrs experience in teaching, I previously working in communications with the police in the UK and served in the Royal Air Force. With a passion for education I'm hoping to help others learn how to make this world a place we can all live in and enjoy. Currently living in a small community in the mountains of Almeria southern Spain with my husband, right now we are renovating an abandoned 300yr old farmhouse and redesigning the use of our land using permaculture principles. I want to show how we can build a community that supports each other. There has to be a better way in this crazy world today. With the principles of permaculture alongside doughnut economics there is hope and we hope to open an education centre to show others practical hands on ways to make a change in their own communities and individual homes.  

Portugal, lisbon

My 20y+ international career is quite diverse (science, space, infrastructure,...). I am currently working as a sustainability freelance consultant in Portugal and I have spent the last 10y working on social impact and sustainability in infrastructure in the UK.  I have realised that to really remove barriers to training and decent work you have to change the system, that seems rigged against those who should be serving. I have been looking for ideas and people that can help me change the system and learnt about regeneration - healing our planet and people and Doughnut Economics. And that brings me to the DEAL Community. Get in touch if you have an idea or project we can work together.   

Oxford

Hi everyone! I'm Caty, co founder at Intaconnected. Since my time working with Oxfam I have been curious and admiring of Doughnut Economics and today I feel lucky to have chosen a career journey/purpose that is constantly learning and creating new ways to incentivise and mobilise business and finance towards transformational business models that will accelerate our collective journey to a Net Positive future.  It is fun to keep learning and testing different ways to translate regenerative economics and frameworks like the Doughnut into practical solutions for organisations - to upskill businesses and provide clear pathways at each step along the journey to a safe, just and equitable future.  We don't have much time left, so it is a thrill to be able to join this inspiring community and I hope to contribute my part in disseminating this amazing theory into practice thanks to your brilliant tools and techniques. I look forward to learning with and form you all!  #regenerativebusiness   #safefuture #planetaryboundaries   `#humanity #biodiversity
