Richard Laverack
Barcelona
Born in north England in 1950, migrated to Australia in 1972 and enjoyed the carefree days of the Permaculture movement. Studied history, and architecture at University, then obtained a builders license and had a 30 year career in the construction industry, including "alternative" construction, mud brick, pole frame. In 1992 I shed tears as Severin Suzuki explained the plight of the world and since then climate change has occupied my life in many ways. I read Tim Jackson´s Prosperity Without Growth in 2009, the same year as the "last chance" Copenhagen COP collapsed. In 2011 I moved to Barcelona, arriving the day before 15M, and I became enchanted with the city and its people, and yet the official COP process produced only fairly tales of impossible promises "Decoupling", "Carbon offsets" "technological efficiencies" and the blatant fraud of Biomass accounting. I am extremely grateful to the ICTA pioneers, (GK, JH), and of course KR for bringing the doughnut to Barcelona, and am looking forward to seeing Tim Jackson soon. ALSO, BIG UP´s to ALL for the Beyond Growth forum at the E.U. I thought I would never see such an event !!!

I help people see, recognize and create value. When I discovered the paradigm of sustainable development, I saw it as a viable alternative to our current capital markets mindset as taught in university economic departments. Ever since I have enjoyed expressing my gifts across a range of themes: * personal development psychology * sustainable wealth management * regenerative economic development * green economy * business innovation This has made me a student of the history of the philosophy of finance. Now my focus is to integrate best practices for a regenerative economy, from ideas into collective action. To create an economy of mutual blessings. I serve a range of clients who are investors, leaders and projects which create better thinking, tools and systems for humanity. I am most intrigued by people and projects to evolve financial markets, social equity and economic systems to create shared prosperity and thriving for all people and all life. And groups who recognize the context of life on this planet who see we are not part of the world, yet see the World as all the parts of us. Since my college days my roles and relationships have expanded with a growing circle of friends and clients who express their vision for a better world. My intensely curious mind led me to study various schools of thought from economics to computer science, biology to meditation and wisdom traditions, and a deep curiosity about existential philosophies of the nature of consciousness. Then I built my expertise while working with several large and small investment banks, financial institutions and think tanks. I am beyond grateful to the women and men who are my mentors, whose insights and gifts inspire me every day. Today I and my circle of friends weave across the world to serve and evolve humanity through a range of circles, groups, think tanks, investment networks, families, social enterprises, indigenous, regenerative agriculture, social innovation, feminine leadership , etc , through our activities toward implementing the most advanced practices to achieve the sustainable development goals. Please reach out to connect anytime you feel I can add value to your efforts. Being a Southern California native, I have celebrated living in Santa Monica since I moved here in 1983. I love creating art, savoring rare aged teas, cooking for loved ones, long walks, ocean swimming, esoteric philosophy, meditation, yoga, surfing and photography... My aim is to express my passion for personal development and human evolution into every moment with every relationship.

Hello! I am committed to helping advance the vision of Doughnut Economics in two ways: • as co-founder and former co-president of the Swiss Donut Economics Network I have contributed to the creation of a platform in Switzerland and continue to support it in my role as speaker and responsible blog editor. • 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!

A.P. at University College London and co-Founder of Global Disability Innovation Hub CIC, I am passionate about creating a more #just and #sustainable future. I resonate with much of the DEAL approach - having rejected economics after my undergrad, and followed a path through social justice and development back to academia (in 2015). I'm excited to wonder what we can do collectively to radically change course. I have a special interest in #disability.

I am a passionate advocate for the environment, driven by a profound love for ecology, nature, biodiversity, and animals. I consider myself fortunate to be part of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab, where I can contribute my skills and knowledge to a community that is committed to transforming how we live and work on this planet. In my efforts to marry my passion for the environment with my hands-on experience, I have volunteered with several forward-thinking organizations. One of my notable contributions has been to the Georgia Mountain Falconry Manual, where I worked to integrate ecological principles into practice. I've also been fortunate to work with the Ecological Society of Australia, helping to champion research and management that enhance ecological outcomes in a time of dramatic global environmental change. My commitment to addressing climate change led me to volunteer briefly with the Citizens Climate Lobby. This experience allowed me to understand the power of individuals and collective advocacy in pushing for essential policy changes. As I continue my studies in Artificial Intelligence at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, I am constantly exploring how this cutting-edge field can intersect with sustainability and ecological goals. I believe that technological advancement can go hand in hand with environmental stewardship, and I am excited by the potential that AI holds in driving sustainable solutions. My interest extends to concepts like sustainability and degrowth, which challenge traditional economic paradigms and offer the promise of a balanced, equitable, and sustainable society. I am excited by the transformative potential of these ideas and their ability to help us imagine and create a world that values and protects ecological systems while ensuring human prosperity. As an active member of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab, I am eager to contribute to rethinking our global economic model. My hope is to leverage my unique combination of skills and interests to promote an economy that respects planetary boundaries, nurtures all forms of life, and allows future generations to thrive.

I am a journalist, specialised in Latin America, especially Brazil. I am interested in Donut Economics because neoliberalism has clearly failed in Latin America and Donut Economics provides possible guidelines for combining poverty eradication and authentic environmental sustainability.

Toronto
I am a #vegan environmentalist working on the Plant Based Treaty campaign. I co-founded Toronto Pig Save with my dog Mr. Bean in late 2010. In the 1990s, I was involved in old growth forest protection campaigns in Clayoquot Sound and the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia. I did a PhD in political studies at the University of Toronto on the topic of green learning, drawing on models from the early American labour movement and civil rights movement and with environmental case studies on the climate crisis and old growth forests. I currently am ED of Animal Save Movement, a global network of chapters in which activists bear witness to pigs, cows, chickens, horses, rabbit, ducks, turkey and other farmed animals at the front gates of slaughterhouses with the aim of encouraging people to go vegan and become activists. I co-authored a book "The Secret Lives of Pigs" (Lantern). I work mainly on policy and system change via the cities and global campaign of the Plant Based Treaty.

Caitlyn Socwell
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Born and raised in the heart of Wisconsin, my initial path led me to a career in physiotherapy, and for seven years I dedicated myself to helping individuals regain their physical well-being, but I felt something bigger was calling to me. My passion for sustainability sprouted from the fertile soil of my Wisconsin roots, and as I observed the delicate balance of nature around me, I felt an undeniable calling to protect it. I embarked on a new path - one that would allow me to create a profound impact on a global scale. In pursuit of my newfound passion, I transitioned from the world of physiotherapy to local government, where I learned the intricacies of policy-making and the importance of fostering sustainability practices within communities. As I delved deeper into the world of sustainability, my vision expanded beyond my local surroundings, and I yearned to be at the forefront of the global movement to combat climate change and promote sustainable living. I then embarked on a life-changing journey, relocating to the Netherlands to found The Waste Not Spot, a bridge connecting businesses, not-for-profits and governments to sustainable strategies that transcend borders.

Camille Gilloots
Lausanne, Switzerland
Since 2021, I led the downscaling of the Doughnut to the transboundary area of the Greater Geneva (France, Switzerland) and to the University of Lausanne. I spent pretty much time working on the following issues : • how to downscale the Doughnut without loosing its deep ecology approach ? • which ecological indicators can we use at local and global scales ? • how to build a social basement based on the Theory of Human Needs approach (to ensure that a Safe and Just Space still exists) ? My colleague Cecilia Matasci, also from the University of Lausanne, created a method to evaluate the Global-Social impacts of the university, based on the imported modern slavery. I spent my less time on : • participative production of the downscaled Doughnut (we always did it between "experts") • transforming business models with Doughnut Economics • producing operationnal public policies driven by the Doughnut Model (on process with the Administration of the University of Lausanne, in 2024).
