Doughnut Economics

Doughnut Economics is a framework designed to balance human well-being and ecological sustainability. It visualizes a "doughnut" shape: the inner ring represents the minimum social foundation for all people, covering basic needs like food, healthcare, and education. The outer ring signifies the ecological ceiling, which encompasses the planet's environmental limits, such as climate stability and biodiversity. The goal is to create a thriving society that operates within these boundaries, ensuring that everyone lives well without degrading the Earth’s ecosystems. This approach challenges traditional economic models focused solely on growth.
