We will look through the lens of doughnut economics at biodiversity in Milton Keynes to help us connect stories and data - the good news stories and the work still to do.
We are producing a City Portrait and inviting partners from all sectors to contribute, including Council, Public Health, Businesses, Community Groups and the Voluntary Sector.
Bring your stories about Biodiversity in MK: what is working well or what you are doing to improve green spaces and rewilding in MK?
What will happen at this event?
This is a drop-in event, and you can drop in for however long you have, even if it is only for a few minutes. You can look through our library of resources which include materials produced by other groups who have been facilitating discussions about Doughnut Economics in their communities. You can have a one-to-one discussion with a member of our group where you can to ask questions, or you can listen to / join in with any group discussions which may be taking place around the table(s).
Our group has begun the discussion with MK Council through the Cabinet Member for Sustainability, and we have begun to gather the data to flesh out a City Portrait for MK. We invite you to bring your experience and knowledge to contribute to our exploration and portrait.

I am a software engineer and consultant living in Milton Keynes with my husband and family. I am very concerned and sometimes find it overwhelming of where to start with the problems we are creating on the planet and the lack of equality and understanding of equity in the world. I am passionate about helping others learn technology skills. I am a professional and qualified ICT Trainer, Teacher, Coach, and Mentor. I am a member of the Milton Keynes Doughnut Economics Network where we are holding weekly dropin sessions to learn about doughnut economics together, learn about data skills, connect with the community to build a city portrait and network to solve planetary and society problems together. I believe we are living in a friendly universe.
