Territorial transition journey

Our territories are increasingly faced with the need to adapt intelligently to various climate, geopolitical and economic challenges, while preserving the social cohesion. To support this transition, the Donut theory offers a compass to assess the current situation and imagine a desirable future tailored to each territory’s specific characteristics.

Building on the experience in Brussels, the BeDonut approach proposes a five-step journey to implement systemic solutions. This strengthens territorial resilience in times of crisis and fosters a shared vision for the future:

• Identifying and connecting key stakeholders

• Raising collective awareness

• Conducting a global diagnosis (territory status) to detect local vulnerabilities

• Visualizing a desirable future (projecting the territory’s safe and just space)

• Developing an action plan to achieve that envisioned future
