Oslo, Norway

I work for cCHANGE which is a research and values-driven business working on the human and social dimensions of transformations to sustainability. I have a DPhil (PhD) from the Environmental Change Institute at Oxford University exploring the role of Sustainability-Oriented Hybrid Organisations in promoting sustainability transformations in cities. The key question that occupies my mind and the minds of my colleagues at cCHANGE is HOW to generate transformations across personal, political, and practical spheres - those that are required for us and nature to live and thrive within the doughnuts safe operating space.

Brazil

I'm part of the Donut Brasil network, and together we are experiencing the tools and knowledge of the Doughnut Economics in many projects and in the Latin America and Brazil contexts. I describe myself as a XXI century economist, who adopts systemic and transdisciplinary thinking, and understands the world as a complex socio-ecological system.  My goal is to work with regenerative projects for the development of inclusive, intelligent, and sustainable cities and communities. I have been particularly interested in applying the Doughnut economy model for cities, business and organisations.  I have experience with projects planning and management, structuration and implementation of new governance models, and group's facilitation collaborative methods to co-create more effective and sustainable solutions for social problems.
