From Doughnut to Data Monitor in Amsterdam
How Amsterdam is turning the Doughnut into a practical tool for data collection on circular economy
Juan-Carlos Goilo is Senior Information Specialist at the City of Amsterdam, leading the City's work on turning the Doughnut into a practical set of indicators for monitoring the city's transformation, especially in relation to creating a circular economy.
In this 21 minute presentation Juan-Carlos describes how the City is turning the Doughnut model into a practical framework for the City, by building a data monitor on the principles of the Doughnut, and building a data-collection system that will reflect the emerging circular economy in the city.
This presentation was first given by Juan-Carlos Goilo at a Circular Economy workshop organised by the City of Hamburg in May 2020.

For soon one year I have been a member of the Swedish Green Party and I am trying to learn as much as possible about how we can create a sustainable future. Since I read Doughnut economics I feel transformed - it gives me hope about how we can live in a better society. We are better than classic economics has describes us. We can change!

I am a Technology & Innovation intern at Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), currently part of a project "Design for Sustainability and Circularity" which aims to enhance the ability of businesses to produce more sustainable products, by taking into account the Planetary Boundaries and Doughnut Economics model throughout the design process. This design framework will be trialled with industries. I have a passion for sustainability and protecting the earth's systems for future generations, to preserve wildlife and the environment. I look forward to making an impact during my Placement year at CPI and learning more about how new technologies can disrupt the current systems for a more sustainable future.

I'm a 37 years old food safety expert from Spain but living in the UK for the last decade. Our current model is unsustainable and that's we need to use frameworks like Doughnut economics to reshape our local communities and way of living. I have experience in food manufacturing and involvement of civil society and community work.

I have always had an adversity to money, and talk about money. And I always thought the talk in newspapers etc about the economy was at the least weird, at the worst mean spirited. I realise that our world is completely evolving around, and built for, money and its workings, and that what we get taught about economy is a scheme we are meant to stay put in. The fact that there seems to be a movement now that does not get squashed or peters out (at least not immediately) that seeks to change exactly these things about money and the economy, makes e enthusiastic about it. I came to this because of the writings of Kate Raworth, Piketty, Stephanie Kelton, George Monbiot, Rutger Bregman, BIEN (Basic Income Earth Network/basicincome.org) Evonomics.com Georgeo Simonetti and Margrit Kennedy. We MUST change, and this change needs to be from the ground up. Economy is ground work.
