Cornwall responding to the Climate Emergency
How the Doughnut Economics model has been used in Cornwall to respond to the complexity of the climate emergency.
Understanding how to respond to the ongoing Climate Emergency is a challenge shared by businesses, charities and other organisations across Cornwall. It is important to demonstrate positive action, and to build our own resilience, but putting it into practice is difficult.
The presentation outlines how it works, the benefits and challenges it can bring and how to find support to develop the idea to suit your own organisation, as well as how Cornwall Council have adapted it to inform decision-making throughout the organisation.

Hi, My name is Nora. I live on the Isle of Wight (UK) and am interested in making change in my local community using the Doughnut approach. I worked for 5 years in the space of circular economy and now work with policy makers at University College London in driving innovation towards the great challenges of our times (climate change, cancer etc). Looking forward to being part of this community!

I'm a Master of Public Affairs candidate at the O'Neill School of Public & Environmental Affairs interested in learning more about DEAL and applications of doughnut economics to municipal policymaking. Occupationally, I have experience working in sustainable food systems, tech, and currently, academic research studying local climate policies. Vocationally, I'm a climate justice organizer and member of the degrowth movement.

I am and ex University Administrator, now spending my time on activism in local communities in Milton Keynes to tackle the Climate Crisis, Misogyny and Gender Inequality. I am a core member of the MK Doughnut Economics Group which operates under the umbrella of Transition Town MK. Our group are part of a fledgling Milton Keynes Climate Action Network (MKCAN). I am a member of the Women's Equality Party (WEPUK) - the first political party to adopt Doughnut Economics as policy. I am also a member of FawcettMK, Citizens:mk and Cycling Citizens MK. I would like to see the Doughnut applied to my Borough and am a member of Milton Keynes DECA (Doughnut Economics Climate Action) Group.
