Amsterdam

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

I am an urban development specialist from South Africa. I am passionate about working with like-minded people to contribute to the creation of cities that provide equal opportunities for all, while developing sustainably, within the planetary boundaries. What really excites me about doughnut economics is the aim to tackle inequality while also dealing with climate change. It is difficult (potentially overwhelming) trying to deal with both pressing issues, and more often than not, they’re disconnected in implementation. I am excited about exploring the doughnut principles in more detail in the developing world/South African city context, where basic needs have not yet been met and poverty, inequality and unemployment are rife.

Hope to have a chance to be connected to many friends interested in doughnut economics, and hope to make it happen in our daily lives to make this world better!
