Here's a tasty idea — “The one doughnut that might actually be good for us.”
________________________________Oxford economist Kate Raworth asks the question, “What would a sustainable, universally beneficial economy look like?” The answer, "like a doughnut," gets some laughs, but opens many eyes.
In the doughnut's circle is a safe and just space for humanity, with a regenerative, distributive economy. Those inside the hole lack basic needs like water, food, and healthcare, as well as social reforms like education, gender equality, and political justice. Outside the ring is overshoot, those growing economies that surpass the ecological ceiling and create biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change.
The perfect circle, the sweet spot for humanity, is what we are after.
We have economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. So too, we have rich economies that need to make us thrive, whether or not they continue to grow. Raworth says, “If humanity is going to thrive here together this century, we need a shift.”
