Here is
The Plan
Starting a movement like this is ambitious, so we need some structured core elements to make things happen.
1)
PORTRAIT OF PLACE
Collate and monitor a climate baseline and Local Determined Contributions (LDCs) using the Portrait of Place, enabling transparent, place-based climate accountability. This will be shared as a dynamic report, with the first version set to launch in Sept 2025 at the Climate Expo.Â
2)
SUSTAINABILITY ACTION MAPPING
Map and align action plans to support consistency and identify gaps across local strategies, using the OnePlanet dashboard. We have applied for funding to subsidise this activity to ensure all can access the system without barriers.Â
3)
WRAPAROUND SUPPORT
Coordinate sustainability efforts county-wide, spotting opportunities to scale, connect, or strengthen initiatives, plus provide training a share knowledge to help support the regions activities
4)
COMMUNICATIONS
Engage and inspire through inclusive communications, events, and storytelling that reaches across society, sectors, and influencers.

What is
Doughnut Economics
Think of it as a compass for human prosperity in the 21st century, with the aim of meeting the needs of all people within the means of the living planet.
The Doughnut consists of two concentric rings: a social foundation, to ensure that no one is left falling short on life’s essentials, and an ecological ceiling, to ensure that humanity does not collectively overshoot the planetary boundaries that protect Earth’s life-supporting systems. Between these two sets of boundaries lies a doughnut-shaped space that is both ecologically safe and socially just: a space in which humanity can thrive.
The Doughnut is the core concept at the heart of Doughnut Economics.Â
