donut economics

Doughnut economics is a framework for sustainable development that balances human needs with planetary health. It visualizes a safe and just space where everyone has access to essentials like food, education, and healthcare (the inner ring), while respecting environmental limits like climate stability and biodiversity (the outer ring). The goal is to ensure no one falls short on life's essentials, while avoiding ecological damage. This approach encourages economies to operate within these boundaries, fostering social well-being without overburdening Earth's ecosystems.
