Research question "How does the Doughnut portrait differ from previous prosperity indicator initiatives (if at all)?"

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.

Last publication https://www.academia.edu/40802779/Public_sector_in_startup_ecosystems cooperation between cities and startups (startup ecosystems in cites).  Integral -ajattelun harjoittaja. Omassa elämässä pyrin elämään elämäääni koodin mukaisesti - pitämällä huolta itsestäni, jotta voin pitää huolta muista ja yhdessä voimme huolehtia paikoista, kuten yhteisöistämme, organisaatiostamme, naapurustosta ja kaupungeistamme ja tätä kautta huolehdimme planeetasta. Integral City on kaupunkien tulevaisuuden kehitysvaihe, joka tapahtuu Smart City -kehitysvaiheiden jälkeen. Integral City -kehitysvaiheessa ihmisten kanssa rakennettaan kaupungin/kunnan merkityksellisyyttä. Integral City ajattelussa ei poissuljeta vaan yhdistetään eri ajattelua ja arvostetaan jo kaiken monipuolisuutta itsessään merkityksellisenä.

Mexico City, Mexico

| Sustainability Transitions Specialist |  Co-Founder of Mexico City's Doughnut Economic Coalition + Scaling Coordinator in CIMMYT-CGIAR After finishing my MSc in Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management in Lund University with a thesis to downscale the doughnut for Mexico City's water policies, I learned research was not enough to make a change. For this reason, I have co-founded the Tricolor Coalition (Mexico City's Doughnut Economic Coalition) to collaborate with other agents of change to promote sustainability transitions in Mexico City. We are now developing community, informative, and capacity building activities to support Mexico City's agents of change interested in promoting this transition. I am currently also working as a Scaling Coordinator in the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center. In my job, I continue to learn about systems thinking approaches, and about what types of food innovations could be scaled (why? and where?) to create more impact.  Moreover, I also have experience in international and national public administrations, and I have specialized in the water-food-energy sectors and climate change challenges.

They’ve used social and ecological indicators to quantify and illustrate Mexico City’s state right now, compared to the potential Mexico City in 2040 - with and without action and specific policy measures being taken.
