About Doughnut Economics
The theory of Doughnut Economics is a new economic proposal created by Kate Raworth, which seeks to respond to the new challenges of the 21st century. It has a clear goal: "to find a safe and fair space for humanity", which it visually displays in the form of a donut.
In order to get there, she proposes seven principles:
Other doughnuts around the world
One of the characteristics for which we decided to develop this project is its practical potential. Kate Raworth's previous economic proposal has not been limited to abstract ideas. For about 5 years, different "doughnuts" have been created around the world that show what are the sustainable challenges facing each society.
The first doughnut ever made was by Kate Raworth. She showed that the indicators that could guide us towards the objective of this safe space for humanity were two: the Sustainable Development Goals as a social base, and the Planetary Limits as an environmental ceiling.
Subsequently, this international doughnut was also sought to scale in other contexts. This generated that today doughnuts have already been created at the regional level, at the national level, at the local level, and even at the neighborhood level. These doughnut visions were found to attract interest from different groups. Therefore, they decided to create Coalitions around the world that would promote this vision of the doughnut and actions to achieve this safe and fair space for humanity.
Currently, the largest number of these Coalitions has been carried out at the urban level. The first example of this type of Coalition and use of the doughnut in practice has been attributed to the Amsterdam Coalition.
