Creating City Portraits

In June 2020, the City of Copenhagen voted with a large majority to draw up a plan for the city to adopt the Doughnut as an economic model. Fanny Broholm, a member of the city council, explains how she and others built the strong cross-party coalition that led to such strong support for the initiative.

I’m a web designer and concerned citizen. I’ve come to activism late in life, so there’s a lot of catching up to do.

Valencia, Comunitat Valenciana, Spain

After reading the book, I knew I wanted to dedicate the rest of my career to implementing its principles. Due to a recent career change and move to a new country (Spain), I am looking for new ways to apply myself and my passion for doughnut economics. Always open to new connections, whether it is to simply feel the support of like-minded peers, or to generate new ideas, help each other’s initiatives, or start new ones together! I speak French, Russian, and Spanish as well as English, so please feel free to contact me in either of those languages as you prefer, and whichever makes you most comfortable.

Hi, I am ecologist originally from Brazil, where I have spent most of my career studying how climate affect (and will affect) plant biodiversity and ecosystem functions. I am particularly fascinated with tropical rainforests, as they represent the most species-rich biome in the world, play a vital role in stabilizing the global climate and are essential for the indigenous and native communities who depend on its natural resources for their survival.
