I wrote Doughnut Economics as the book that I wished I could have read when I was an economics student at university. It had far more traction than I could of imagined so I spent two years giving talks about it. Then I thought, OK, enough talk: who actually wants to do this? Because every day I was getting messages from teachers, community makers, city planners, entrepreneurs, civil servants - all of whom were starting to turn the ideas of Doughnut Economics into practice. I'm a big believer in the power of peer-to-peer inspiration. So often, the most inspiring person is someone like yourself - a fellow teacher, or mayor, or community leader - who is already doing that thing that you thought was impossible. So I cannot wait to see what happens in this community. Here's to the change-makers who just start doing it. Let's co-create the tools for a regenerative and distributive future. Let's share our stories of what we did and how - because that is what will inspire us all.

Regenerative economist, passionate activist and DEAL’s co-founder. Over the past 18 months I’ve been immersed in imagining, designing and bringing to life DEAL’s emergent strategy. It’s been an incredible journey of exploring what it means to turn a radical idea into transformative action and bringing this community together is our best attempt to make it happen - I can't wait to see what we can do together. I am also leading the early days of DEAL’s work with Business & Enterprise. I'm really excited to co-create tools that can help organisations transform themselves in order to help humanity move towards the doughnut and to get inspired from those who are already doing it. Contact me by going to the DEAL Contact Form and selecting 'Business & Enterprise'. I’d love to hear from you!

I am a purpose-driven and strategic movement maker, presenter and public speaker with a hands-on approach to production. Drawing from my 8+ years of international experience in community building, storytelling, and event & content production, I thrive on connecting people and driving positive change. With a background in communication science, international relations, yoga, mindfulness, permaculture design and regenerative leadership, my mission is to rekindle the connection between people and nature. In 2019 I co-created the Amsterdam Doughnut Coalition, a grassroots movement consisting of more than 1000 people in Amsterdam who are actively applying the principles of the doughnut economy. The impact of this initiative resonated globally, leading me to speak at numerous influential conferences, ranging from Berlin to Tokyo. My insights of the doughnut economy were featured in interviews with TIME Magazine and I had the privilege to deliver a TEDx talk about a regenerative future. Finally, I founded an international community, encompassing 30+ cities worldwide, to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration in driving the adoption of the doughnut economy. Let's connect and create a regenerative future together! Watch and read about my work in the following media: TEDx talk TIME Magazine SKY NEWS YES Magazine De Standaard La Liberation

I am an assistant professor in ecological economics and political ecology at the University of Barcelona, and associate researcher at ICTA UAB. I have contributed to an ecological and cultural critique of (sustainable) development, and the search for alternatives to it. The proposal that I have explored more in depth is ‘degrowth’, the hypothesis that we can live well, with less. Degrowth is an attempt to re-politicise debates about desired socio-environmental futures. I co-edited “Degrowth: A Vocabulary for a New Era” (with G. Kallis & G. D’Alisa; translated into 10 languages) and “Pluriverse: A Post-Development Dictionary” (with A. Kothari, A. Escobar, A. Salleh & A. Acosta) an exciting volume of over 100 essays on transformative alternatives to globalized development. My last book is “The case for degrowth” (with G. Kallis, S. Paulson & G. D’Alisa) where we address the question of 'how to'. Find all my publications freely downloadable here: https://uab.academia.edu/FedericoDemaria
