City Planner interested in #sustainable #development

Bern, Switzerland

The future is not something that just happens - it is something we create. With the vision of a fossil-free economy that thrives within planetary and social boundaries, I invest my energy not only in the pragmatic empowerment of organisations, but also in that of my fellow human beings. Because I am deeply convinced that we need new narratives and must take everyone with us on the path to a safer and fairer future. What drives me? An insatiable interest in scientifically sound facts and future-oriented topics. I am passionate about absorbing new knowledge and constantly expanding my horizons - and sharing this knowledge with others. My motto: empowering people to be lifelong learners. Because learning should never stop! I look forward to inspiring discussions and setting off together towards a better future! Let's connect!

Soulsbyville, California, United States

Hi! I heard about this on The Way Out Is In podcast and was fascinated. I'm a marketer and very interested in the ethics of marketing - to me it's not about making deals or getting one sale, but building a long term sustainable business for me and my clients.  I'm excited to learn how Doughnut Economics fits in with this. When not working, I'm often out in the woods or watching birds and other wildlife from my home. I love to hike, photography, and creating other art. I'm sloooowly practicing making linocuts.

I am a post doctoral research associate based within the School of Law with over 15 years’ experience working in environmental consenting and planning. I have detailed working knowledge of environmental regulation across UK nations and across both terrestrial and marine spaces. My research explores spatial justice, environmental law and public participation in environmental decision making. My research experience has provided her with an in-depth understanding of the importance of lawscapes for contextualising spatial decisions. My research focuses on coastal and marine regulation. I am increasingly moving into the post-growth space, specifically looking at spatial regulation and how to incentivise resilient development in non-monetary ways.

Français ci-dessous The future belongs to communities rooted in their territory. Closer ties between people forming communities of destiny and taking into account all forms of life on the land they use are the keys to well-being, peace and the future of our world.  That's why I'm involved in my region as an independent ecobionomist and adult educator, as well as a responsible citizen. L'avenir appartient aux communautés ancrées à leur territoire. Le resserrement des liens entre les personnes formant des communautés de destin et la prise en compte de toutes les formes de vies sur la terre qu'elles occupent sont les clefs du bien-être, de la paix et du futur de notre monde.  C'est pourquoi je m'engage dans ma région comme écobionomiste et formateur d'adultes indépendant ainsi que citoyen responsable.

With a lifelong interest in protecting the natural environment from the ravages of human activity, I have followed, with great interest, many issues and trends in science and technology, as well as human endeavor, that offer glimpses of a sustainable future for our species and our planet. I've worked in energy #conservation, building efficiency science, and renewable energy. My recent focus has been on the use of biocomposite materials in housing, specifically hemp-lime construction, which promises a more sustainable way forward through the present housing crisis, addressing issues related to , #carbon capture, materials toxicity, moisture vapor management, and acoustical mitigation.
