Cambridge Doughnut Economics Action Group
We are a community group in Cambridge who are working on the Cambridge Doughnut project. We are building relationships with local government and other key organisations to help deliver this vision for Cambridge and the local area as a more just and environmentally sustainable city.
We seek to adopt the Doughnut Economics approach ensuring all those who work and live in Cambridge and its surrounds have the ability to thrive - with access to nutritious food, decent housing and their needs are met - all this without surpassing the climate and ecological boundaries of the planet.
We are collaborating with the Resilience Web, who help foster place based community action by connecting local groups who are helping to bring about positive change. These connections allow us to work with existing networks and to amplify the principles and ideas of Doughnut Economics as we work towards a better future.

I am currently mobilising an initiative to develop a Design for Sustainability and Circularity Framework to strengthen industry’s capabilities for designing products, services, systems, and supply chains to be sustainable, by design. This includes drawing upon the knowledge and principles embedded in the Planetary Boundaries Framework and the Doughnut Economics Model. The initiative will make recommendation to the UK government, policymaker and pilot the design framework with industry. I am a passionate advocate for sustainable development and believes that we can create a more sustainable future by designing products, services and supply chains that are more efficient and yet protective of the Earth’s critical natural and ecological systems. I am a strong believer in the power of technology to help us solve and address some of the world’s biggest challenges.

Thanks very much for the Action Lab. I am currently exploring how to integrate the Doughnut and Embedded Economy models within the following areas in Business: * the Business Case for Programmes and Projects (e.g. UK Green Book)? * Integrated Management Systems with ISO 9001 related standards? * Sustainable Community based upon ISO 37101 and relation to the doughnut * the EFQM Model? * B-Corporation Certifications? * Systems engineering related areas. The people working with these models and standards already have an understanding of models and have their own internal audiences within organizations. I'm interested in collaborating with any people also looking at these areas.

Helping create a life of freedom, equal opportunity and a shared responsibility for our planet is at the heart of my why. This has led to choosing social entrepreneurship, working on the transition to the doughnut economy. The doughnut economy feels like home to me. It is the world I want to live in. I have not encountered any other metaphor, framework or model that - to me - feels so complete. Within it everything I find important fits.
