Take the Jump
Six clear, constructive, impactful and doable shifts to live a life in the Doughnut!
Overview
‘Taking The JUMP’ is to try the six shifts for 1, 3 or 6 months.
Even if you can’t keep to it 100%, you can still ‘take The JUMP’ and just do what you can.
The team and community at Take the Jump offer tips, encouragement and people you can speak to help along the way.
Why try it?
Our society is hooked on stuff and it’s destroying our planet. Often without even making our lives better. Another way is possible!
Our goal is a world of less stuff and more joy, where humanity is in balance with nature - through helping achieve a two-thirds reduction in the impact of consumption in rich countries by 2030.
Science shows this is what’s needed and that citizens can actually have a huge role in making it happen.
Who is it for?
'Take the Jump' is for anyone worried about nature but are not necessarily an ‘environmentalist’. For anyone looking for constructive, practical and impactful steps we can take in our own lives.
We can take the jump on our own, as a family or friends, or even as a business or institution. There are also local JUMP community groups forming all around.
Take the Jump is a welcome place for EVERYONE; no matter heritage, gender, sexuality, lived experience, location, or political leanings. At the same time, Take the Jump is clear it is high consuming citizens and communities that must act quickest.
Take the Jump was created by a group of researchers, scientists, parents and teachers who are deeply concerned about climate change.
We're using the latest science to back this up, including scientific research by one of our co-founders. Take the Jump is genuinely grassroots and citizen-led, driven by connected volunteers, supported by the newly formed The JUMP charity.
How long does it take?
‘Taking The JUMP’ is to try the six shifts for 1, 3 or 6 months.

If we are to achieve our goal of greater respect for our environment and the people who make up our society, we need to take action at every level. This is the reason why I decided to help companies, local authorities and organisations commit to a CSR and transition approach. Today, I offer CSR modules, seminar days and tailor-made support to get all teams involved in a comprehensive, integrated approach. After listening to Kate Raworth at a Conference, I felt that the doughnut had to be shared with as many structures as possible.

My 20y+ international career is quite diverse (science, space, infrastructure,...). I am currently working as a sustainability freelance consultant in Portugal and I have spent the last 10y working on social impact and sustainability in infrastructure in the UK. I have realised that to really remove barriers to training and decent work you have to change the system, that seems rigged against those who should be serving. I have been looking for ideas and people that can help me change the system and learnt about regeneration - healing our planet and people and Doughnut Economics. And that brings me to the DEAL Community. Get in touch if you have an idea or project we can work together.

I am a biologist with a Master's degree in Forestry Sciences, and I have devoted 25 years of my career to protecting life. I believe in the power of collaboration and have used my expertise, skills, and network of partners to support initiatives that seek to regenerate and promote sustainable models for creating a new green economy that benefits both people and the planet. Throughout my career, I have worked in various sectors in Brazil, including research corporations, the Brazilian Ministry of Environment, the private sector, and WWF Brazil, as well as with NGOs. I find inspiration in travelling, being in nature, reading various books, engaging in conversations with friends, and staying active through yoga or other sports, which allow me to rejuvenate and bring new ideas and innovation to my work.
