How we built the Amsterdam Doughnut Coalition
For all the do-ers, creators and change makers that want to create a doughnut coalition in their city
The Amsterdam Approach of Building a Doughnut Coalition in 7 steps
OVERVIEW
Together with about 30+ donut-fans, we built the Amsterdam Doughnut Coalition, a network of about 300 people and 40 organisations that together want to turn the region of Amsterdam into a doughnut-proof region. In this 'guide' you can find out more about our approach and journey on building this coalition in Amsterdam and maybe it helps you to set up your own in your own local context! Reach out to us if you have any questions, we are happy to chat with you
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This journey wouldn't have been possible without the bi-weekly meetings with our core team and the kwartiermaker Ruurd Priester

Hello, my name is Morgane. I am a passionate advocate for the circular economy and dedicated to creating sustainable solutions for our planet. Currently, I serve as a project leader for Circul'R, a French startup that specializes in guiding corporations toward adopting a circular economic model. In this role, I work closely with companies to help them transition their economic practices towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly approaches. My interest in environmental issues was sparked during my exchange program in Japan, where I witnessed firsthand the challenges associated with waste management and the overproduction of plastic. This eye-opening experience inspired me to pursue a master's degree in environmental policy, with a specific focus on waste management and sustainability. Throughout my studies, I delved into various aspects of waste management and learned about innovative strategies to tackle environmental challenges. Driven by my passion and knowledge in the field, I am dedicated to making a positive impact by promoting circular economy principles and finding practical solutions to create a more sustainable future

| Sustainability Transitions Specialist | Co-Founder of Mexico City's Doughnut Economic Coalition + Scaling Coordinator in CIMMYT-CGIAR After finishing my MSc in Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management in Lund University with a thesis to downscale the doughnut for Mexico City's water policies, I learned research was not enough to make a change. For this reason, I have co-founded the Tricolor Coalition (Mexico City's Doughnut Economic Coalition) to collaborate with other agents of change to promote sustainability transitions in Mexico City. We are now developing community, informative, and capacity building activities to support Mexico City's agents of change interested in promoting this transition. I am currently also working as a Scaling Coordinator in the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center. In my job, I continue to learn about systems thinking approaches, and about what types of food innovations could be scaled (why? and where?) to create more impact. Moreover, I also have experience in international and national public administrations, and I have specialized in the water-food-energy sectors and climate change challenges.
