The Doughnut Economic Model

The Doughnut Economic Model is a framework for sustainable development that balances human needs with planetary health. It envisions a safe space—the "doughnut"—where social foundation (essentials like healthcare, education, and food) is met without overshooting ecological limits (such as climate change and biodiversity loss). The inner ring represents minimum standards everyone should have, while the outer ring highlights environmental boundaries to protect the planet. The goal is to create an economy that ensures well-being for all within these ecological and social boundaries, promoting prosperity and sustainability simultaneously.
