Riga’s Doughnut City Portrait

What is Riga's Portrait?

Co-authored by Green Liberty | Zaļā brīvība and REGENALYZE for the Municipality of Riga, the Portrait offers a multi-dimensional diagnostic of the city, covering social and ecological aspects, both at the local, and global levels.

"Overall, the aim of the Data Portrait is to provide a holistic data-led snapshot of a place’s performance that combines local aspirations – to be thriving people in a thriving place – with global connections – both social and ecological – that require every place to consider its many complex interconnections with the world in which it is embedded."

We researched on these questions:

• Is everyone in Riga able to thrive?
• Is Riga as generous as the surrounding nature?
• Is Riga respecting the well-being of people worldwide?
• Is Riga respecting the health of the planet?

With the Portrait, the city of Riga, organisations, and citizens can identify key challenges and opportunities for action, engage in collective discussions to align priorities and validate findings, and shape more informed strategies for the future.
