Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada

I am a member of Imagine Lethbridge.  We are a grass-roots group endeavouring to bring Doughnut Economics to our city.  Our aim is to integrate the 7 Principles of Doughnut Economics and the Doughnut Economic framework into our Municipal Development Plan which will connect all organizations, groups and citizens who value cooperation and collaboration.  We will create a "just and healthy future for all people and for the planet." 

Malmö

For soon one year I have been a member of the Swedish Green Party and I am trying to learn as much as possible about how we can create a sustainable future. Since I read Doughnut economics I feel transformed - it gives me hope about how we can live in a better society. We are better than classic economics has describes us. We can change!

Warsaw, Poland

I am director of the Polish Green political foundation Fundacja Strefa Zieleni and Board Member of the Green European Foundation. I am also vice president of the Board of the Women's Congress Association (organisation coordinating one of the biggest activist movements in Poland) and Minister of Ecological Transition in the Shadow Cabinet of the Congress of Women.  My ambition is to promote  the dougnut model in Poland and introduce it in as many cities as possible. 

Sophia Antipolis, France and Barcelona, Spain

After 20+ years in corporate strategy consulting and the tech business, I progressively switched my mindset and practices to supporting organizations in their transformational journey towards eco-social-compatible models. 🍩🌍 I am very inspired by the Doughnut Economics concepts and theory and as an action-oriented person pushing for transformative change, I enjoy guiding organizations through their journey to embrace regenerative and distributive dynamics, thanks to the powerful tools developed by the DEAL. I am an experienced facilitator and trainer of several Fresks (playful, collaborative, and creative workshops that raises awareness on several environmental and social issues) such as The Climate Fresk, The Planetary Boundaries Fresk, The Regenerative Economy Fresk, The Agri-Food Fresk, The Digital Fresk …  I am engaged in several local initiatives around regenerative economy in my local area (French Riviera in South of France) to bring these concepts and theory into practice, via experimentation at community level.   I am delighted to join this rich and inspiring community to engage in meaningful conversations, learn from you and share insights and practices.

Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom

I'm a 37 years old food safety expert from Spain but living in the UK for the last decade. Our current model is unsustainable and that's we need to use frameworks like Doughnut economics to reshape our local communities and way of living. I have experience in food manufacturing and involvement of civil society and community work.

Decatur, GA, USA

Hey y'all! I'm Misty, a long time activist / organizer based in metro-Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I'm a part of a coalition called the Life Reimagined Collaborative and we are creating the Game of Life Reimagined. Life Reimagined is a cooperative story-telling board game that parodies of the original game of Life. Players build a collective vision of a just and sustainable world on the timeline of the climate clock, because we're the only ones who can save us now. We are using Doughnut Economics as a board model in the game and would love to work with you to make this game happen! We want it to be a fun and useful tool for everyday people to learn, practice, and take action, doing what it takes to win. You can check out our short explainer post on instagram here, our longer pitch deck here, and you are invited to our coalition interest zoom meeting (register here) for the game on Thursday, February 13th, 2025, 8-9:30pm EST (New York City time). We are happy to meet with you one on one to discuss as this time doesn't work for all! Thanks for all you do to make a difference! Power to the People! [coalition zoom.jpg] [ ]
