Doughnut Economics

Doughnut Economics

Definition

A model that balances human needs (social foundation) and planetary limits (ecological ceiling), creating a safe space for humanity to thrive.

Interpretation

Not too little, not too much β€” just enough for all. The doughnut reframes progress: no longer endless growth, but right-sized thriving. It’s economics as if people and the planet mattered.

Living Invitation

Sketch your own doughnut. Where are you lacking (housing, food)? Where are you overshooting (waste, energy)? What would balance look like?
