This is worth a read for the whole #DoughtnutEconomics global community. Great analysis of the impact of wealth on Planetary Boundaries. "We show that 31–67% and 51–91% of the planetary boundary breaching responsibility could be attributed to the global top 10% and top 20% of consumers, respectively, from both developed and developing countries." https://lnkd.in/diepTDVy Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) Transform:GM (Doughnut Economics in Greater Manchester) Amsterdam Donut Coalitie

Two interesting areas for the #DoughnutEconomics crowd. #Regenerative real estate and the link between the climate and biodiversity crises. Worth digging into depending on your interests. Diba Salam RIBA ARB

This is a really important contribution to our understanding of the risks to our ability 'to provide society's needs within the planet's limits', the idea at the heart of #DoughnutEconomics. A report that deserves the widest possible and most influential audience. One quote from the report's recommendations: "Set Planetary Solvency limits that respect planetary boundaries • Develop risk limits and thresholds to manage our activities within these. • Develop a range of metrics that monitor planetary health, as well as human societal indicators such as the economy, health, equity, food and water security. • Use the precautionary principle when faced with uncertainty, for example, to minimise likelihood of breaching tipping points."

A spectacularly comprehensive review 👇 of future facing academic economic research for you #DoughnutEconomists out there. Part authored by Kate Raworth and including many of the best academics in their fields. Many of us will find it a hard read so for the TL:DR brigade here's a very brief summary: We don't have all the answers but we are getting better at asking the questions. In particular: How can we pay for the transition to an economy that meets people's needs within the planet's limits? What are the political routes to this goal? We can see clues to policy routes including; "universal access to essential goods and services, working-time reduction, and carbon and wealth taxes". And a bonus for those in the Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) family: "One interesting direction is participatory action research, such as the Doughnut Economics Action Labs, where stakeholders and members of the public develop post-growth programmes for their cities." Which is what we do! Come and join us if you want to use your skills, get your hands dirty (not literally), and have fun 😊 helping do the important work of showing how to make London a better place for people and planet and a showcase for the world.

The word #culture stems from the Latin 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘦, meaning ‘to tend’ or ‘to cultivate.’ While it originally referred to cultivating the soil, by the 16th century, it evolved to encompass nurturing the mind, skills, relationships, and ideas—a process of refinement and growth. Culture, then, is more than tradition. It’s about looking forward, cultivating what doesn’t yet exist, and #nurturing new stories and narratives. What are the future possibilities we want to cultivate? London, a city of incredible #diversity, thrives on #innovation born from its traditions and the countless cultures that co-create here daily. Diversity drives progress. So, what is the London we want to grow further? For 2025, let’s bring more voices to decision-making spaces, learn from those often unheard, and collaborate across sectors and communities. Lateral thinking, shared responsibilities, and regenerative practices are key to building an economy that respects the well-being of all. Together, let’s cultivate a London where everyone thrives, and consider what we each want to nurture in our lives and our communities. __   Quote / Binki Taylor, Founding Partner at The Brixton Project, at the Global Donut Days 2024. #LondonDoughnut #PurposeDriven #BetterFutures #RegenerativeEconomy #FutureLondon

As we wrap up the year, it’s a natural time to pause and reflect, not just on achievements but on the deeper “why” behind them. What motivates us to seek change? Why are cities turning to #DoughnutEconomics to shape their future? The "why" is a powerful compass for reimagining how we thrive personally and collectively, balancing individual, social and ecological needs, and reshaping what success looks like. For #London, a major financial centre and European economic powerhouse, this is an invitation to dream big. It’s about the steps we can take toward a city that truly reflects our shared purpose - a city built on equity, care and regeneration. As you reflect on your path, consider: what steps in your journey echo this shared vision of a better London? Let’s play an intentional game: if you had to choose just one, what would be the word aligned with your purpose to inspire your actions in 2025? Share your special word in the comments and inspire others! #LondonDoughnut #PurposeDriven #BetterFutures #RegenerativeEconomy

🌟 Perfect time to intentionally slow down, take a break and nourish our mind and body with meaningful rest to #recharge, relax, and let our creativity flow.  These quieter days offer a unique opportunity to imagine a future where London thrives within the Doughnut—a city where people and the planet prosper together. 🌍 What does this mean for London? #London is uniquely positioned to draw inspiration from global successes and forge its path. By weaving the principles of #DoughnutEconomics into our neighbourhoods, high streets, and policies, we can co-create a city that nurtures well-being and prosperity for all. Over the coming weeks, we’ll explore case studies from cities like Barcelona, Oslo, and Cornwall, each showing how Doughnut principles are being brought to life. These stories will uncover actionable insights for Londoners, sparking ideas for local transformation. 🌱 Let’s dream boldly and reimagine our city as a place of fairness, creativity, and regeneration. Stay tuned and join us as we shape this vision together! Link in the comments. #LondonDoughnut #ReimagineLondon #SocialImpact #RegenerativeEconomy Credit-Illustration: Tenley Tomlinson.
