The Doughnut Economy is a holistic view that includes climate change, the circular economies as well as social justice. Doughnut Economics represents a major paradigm shift from current beliefs.

The concept of Doughnut Economics was laid out in the 2017 book b Dr. Kate Raworth, “Donughtnut Economics, Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st Century Economist. Dr. Raworth presents the case for turning away from the concepts of profit and growth and prioritizing the ecological and social foundation required for humans to thrive. The outer circle of the doughnut is bounded by the environment, the inner circle is the floor of the social needs. The area between the two is where humans thrive in a sustainable world. 

In addition to providing a new format for thinking about the relationship between environmental and social issues, Dr. Raworth has also created an organizational platform to highlight best practices from around the world. If you want to change the world then getting involved in DEAL, Doungnut Economics Action Lab is the place to start.
