So how can a new economic model help us to operate in a space that is both ecologically safe and socially just? She draws up the alternative model “Doughnut Economics”, where the outer ring of the doughnut marks the environmental limits for human activity and the inner ring the limits for acceptable living standards for humans. Kate Raworth, Research Associate at Oxford University, has recently published a book that challenges the traditional economic theories that evolved during the 19 th and 20 th century. The great challenge for our generation is how to satisfy the needs of people and societies within existing planetary assets and resources. Join us for a seminar on “Doughnut Economy” and a discussion about how environmental challenges such as access to water can be met through “the Doughnut Economy” models.
