Doughnut of the Greater Paris Area (Grand Paris)
The Grand Paris has an incredible regional GDP but its Doughnut shows a different reality
This area has an incredible regional GDP near 70% higher than that of the rest of the French regions levels. Yet Parisians do not seem more fulfilled than average.
Greater Paris
More than one in six inhabitants, or 15.6% of the population live below the poverty line, which is one point higher than the national average. 6.3% of the population suffers from food insecurity and 10% are said to be in poor housing, ie 1.2 million people, according to the Abbé Pierre foundation. Among them, 279,493 inhabitants or 2.3% of the population lives without a bathroom and 72,400 inhabitants have homes without water, indoor toilet or sanitation. We also note that 17% of households live in a situation of vulnerability or fuel poverty. With real political will, however, these problems would not be so difficult to resolve.
In terms of employment, we note that the unemployment rate for young people aged 15-24 is close to 18%, this figure is high even if it is lower than the french national average (25.6%).

I'm a strategic communications and partnership building consultant based in France. I worked 20+ years for large ICT corporates spinning the Internet transformation pitch. During a Covid lockdown, I completed CISL's sustainable business course and since then am #teaching, advising start-ups, volunteering and supporting multi-stakeholder activities on climate action. I've developed content for #COPs, am a #Fresque du Climat #facilitator and a #multi-sector #partnership broker with the Partnership Brokers Association. I'm interested in tools and means that close the value-action gap and would like to use The Doughnut in my work.

My enchantment and fascination with the natural world began early with a love of animals, who I saw as ambassadors for other worlds. When I was 17, an extended hiking trip in the Wind Rivers of Wyoming sealed the deal. I teach lecture-based and experiential learning courses on sustainability, environmental ethics, ecological integrity, resilience theory, environmental psychology, and transformational learning at various Universities in the Twin Cities. I live in Mahtomedi with my three delightful children and two overly enthusiastic dogs. I consider my house one big art project, and I love to cook and entertain. Curious minds are always welcome at my table. Come say hello!
