university professor 

Luxembourg

I am a communication professional and my concerns for nature and society motivate me to find like minded people. I have been actively involved in nature, food, and water conservation campaigns. In my opinion development is hugely misinterpreted as consumerism. This is clearly evident in habits like eating, drinking, commuting, and producing. I think our approach needs to be much more caring. Apart from being a communication professional, I am the father of a nature-loving girl. And I do not want to disappoint her by thinking that her father has not contributed to the betterment of our planet.

Worcestershire

I'm occasionally involved with both the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Wildlife Trusts, own a stretch of the River Wye and some woodland. My contacts in those Trusts told me about a new 'phobia' amongst their younger volunteers, which they referred to as 'eco anxiety'. I share that, and have done so for well over 60 years, long before it became a new 'trend'.  I wrote and published my autobiography in February this year , and whilst writing it became aware of the thread of environmental concern I unconsciously wove into it. (as well as a few other things!). By the way I had no picture to hand so used that cover as my profile. Remove it if you feel it's inappropriate.  I'm a retired businessman, was listening to radio 4 yesterday, and realised Kate Raworth was speaking my language. THAT is how I ended up here! If I can help in any way financially or otherwise let me know

Birmingham,UK

 My perception of present day economic policies and banking system are utte  fake. It is totally manipulated by a group of world organisations. There should be an alternative force to change the current system for global economy for better change. I encourage my children to find the right organisation for their career development. 

Rotterdam, the Netherlands

I am a curator of partnerships with international platforms and global networks specialised in access to innovative thinking and making connections for the benefit of business, investments and philanthropy leaders. In June 2021 I did a Foundation of Doughnut Economivs course online with Kate Raworth as faculty and it prompted me to quit my income from an industrial linear economy big corporate and start to reskill myself as a independent consultant for mindful and well designed business models for the 21st century #circulareconomy #degrowth with a personal motivation on ocean pollution #plasticwasteaction

MSc Sustainability Apprentice

Leiden

After attending environmental biology education in the eighties, organising international environmental education in the nineties and performing research and consultancy on sustainability form the start of the millennium, I got involved in the activities of the lokal foundation "Ideewinkel" in Leiden in 2010. Since 2014 as projectleader of the "Groene Ideecafé", I offer together with a working group a platform for local sustainable initiatives. It aims to inform, inspire connect and activate the network of citizens, that aim to apply the global sustainable development goals at a local level. Inspired by the Amsterdam City Portrait, I started looking for soul mates to initiate and support the process with the Leiden Donut Coalition. With the help of the local network of social an ecological networks, and the energy and enthousiasm of students of the programme Governance of Sustainability, we want to create the first Leiden City Selfie and formulate recommendations on how to proceed to complete the Leiden City Portrait. To contribute to reaching a balance at local and global scale between the needs of people and safe planetairy boundaries.

Petersfield, Hampshire UK

I am a father of two under 10 children and run my business as a custom software developer. I am passionate about helping motivating action on mitigating the climate crisis. I have done a bit of everything - running for the Green party, protesting in the streets with XR and making the continuous changes needed to reduce my carbon footprint. I have shed all the clients that I used to have whose business models were actively damaging to the environment and our ability to survive. My focus is on finding clients who could benefit from my skills as they work on climate crisis solutions (as listed in drawdown.org) All of these actions seem so utterly futile but they are what I can do. I am seeking opportunities to make better use of my energy to help with what we are about to endure.
