The project aims to unify and enable collective change to support what matters most to people.

On Monday 15 March 2024, Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent COP launched their first project ‘Celebration of the Possible’, a conference to drive aligned sustainability.

Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent COP are aiming to create a shared roadmap to improve the future for people, place, and planet by using Doughnut Economics.

Their goal is to unify and enable collective change to support what matters most to people. Building a sustainable future for us all to live, work and thrive in, through a ten-year actionable framework.

After the successful launch event which took place in The Catalyst building at Staffordshire University, the next steps of the project are to:

  • Create a Portrait of Place: Where they are now (A) to where they want to be (B), codevelop and share widely.

  • Map out a Roadmap of Possibilities: Getting them from A to B based on cohesive and collaborative action, amplifying what’s working and bridging gaps.

  • Wrap Around Support: The collective tools, resources, knowhow, and capacity they need to make it all happen.
