How we built the Amsterdam Doughnut Coalition
For all the do-ers, creators and change makers that want to create a doughnut coalition in their city
The Amsterdam Approach of Building a Doughnut Coalition in 7 steps
OVERVIEW
Together with about 30+ donut-fans, we built the Amsterdam Doughnut Coalition, a network of about 300 people and 40 organisations that together want to turn the region of Amsterdam into a doughnut-proof region. In this 'guide' you can find out more about our approach and journey on building this coalition in Amsterdam and maybe it helps you to set up your own in your own local context! Reach out to us if you have any questions, we are happy to chat with you
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This journey wouldn't have been possible without the bi-weekly meetings with our core team and the kwartiermaker Ruurd Priester

ENJOY THE RIDE :-)

I'm a permaculture practitioner and horticulturist, and work on a part-time basis on an organic farm. As an environmental and climate activist, I was at the forefront of the fossil fuel divestment campaign in Ireland and have led a number of direct action and media campaigns, specifically on Irish forestry policies. I'm also an award-winning songwriter and performer, and i craft ethical products with a circular economy mindset, which i sell at my weekly market stall in Skibbereen.
