Episode Details

This is an excerpt from episode 90 featuring the Deputy Mayor of Amsterdam, Marieke van Doorninck, on how the City is working to become the world’s first ‘doughnut economy’.

We pick up our conversation with 20 minutes or so to go, starting with how people are engaging with the City’s doughnut economy strategy. We go on to talk about a few ways the work is being done, including some projects and initiatives under way, or being talked about.

Marieke brings depth to the notion of a circular economy – beyond just the technical changes – and talks of some of the system changes we need, and how we might achieve them. And as even the Biden administration looks into Doughnut Economics, how can we ensure it maintains its integrity and doesn’t become another target for greenwashing?

Title slide: from the cover picture of City of Amsterdam documentation on their engaging with Doughnut Economics (supplied).
