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.

I’m one of the three co-founders of Donut Wien, actively working to bring systemic sustainability transformation to the City of Vienna by applying the principles of Doughnut Economics and strengthening the community of change makers here. In my daily work, I’m an impact and sustainability advisor working with impact investors, companies and individuals on charting paths from intention to impact, focusing on business model transformation reflecting planetary boundaries and social equity.   Before, I worked with The Economist Group for over two decades, where I initiated and implemented the company’s first sustainability strategy while leading the global readership business. After that, I was a strategist with Quantis, a Boston Consulting Group specialist sustainability consultancy for three years working with global F&B players on climate strategies, climate and nature risk projects. I have a master’s in communications from the University of Vienna and did my sustainability education with the Sustainability Management School Switzerland (SUMAS) and Terra.do.

Aarhus, Danmark

Everyone is talking about the climate – even the politicians (especially them) – BUT what are they doing? And what are we all doing you - and me? That is the question right now! Many of us feel that too little is being done in the area of ​​climate changes. The world is chaotic. There are wars and energy crisis's. Social inequality is growing globally. And at the same time, climate changes are becoming clearer to everyone. Heat waves, droughts and storms ravage the continents. What do we stand for? Something must be done! We have chosen to fight for the climate and against inequality at the same time.  Kate Raworth has addressed this double sided fight so brilliant in her book 'Doughnut Economics' . This is why we call ourselves the Donut group, because we are inspired by her book 'Doughnut economics'.  We have a website aarhusdoughnut.dk   We come from different groups: ActionAid Denmark  -the Central City Council - Seniors without Borders - The Donut group in Mejlgade 53 - . Our vision and mission is that the City of Aarhus becomes a Donut city like Amsterdam and, not least, acts accordingly. We participate in the debates about urban development in Aarhus, both physical, environmental and social development. The Donut group in Aarhus has existed since 2019. We hold meetings with city council politicians, with the Copenhagen Donut and other climate groups in Aarhus.  In September 2021 we organized a digital and physical conference with presentations by Kate Raworth, Rob Shorter from DEAL and Deputy Mayor of Amsterdam Marieke Van Doorninck. To discuss the possibilities for Aarhus as a Donut city, a panel consisting of politicians nominated for the municipal elections 2021 were invited. Approx. 100 people attended physically and approx. 50 participated digitally. In November 2022 we organized a Doughnut Conference this time in the City Hall with representatives from the political parties in the City Council, Rob Shorter and representatives from the local businesses.  Again approx. 100 people attended the Conference and the workshops we had arranged. We are an open group where all aspects of the climate crisis can be discussed and we consider ourselves a forum where there is room to reverse current developments - and initiatives.
