Introduction:
The Doughnut is a compass for 21st century development that meets the needs of all people within the means of the living planet. A planet where no one falls short on life’s essentials (from food and housing to healthcare and political voice), while ensuring that collectively we do not overshoot our pressure on Earth’s life-supporting systems, on which we fundamentally depend – such as a stable climate, fertile soils, and a protective ozone layer. What would that mean in practice for the diverse situation of the world’s nations? Kate Raworth, author of the internationally best-selling book Doughnut Economics, and co-founder of Doughnut Economics Action Lab, will present examples from cities and places worldwide that are putting the Doughnut at the heart of their future vision and turning it into action.
