Doughnut Economics & How Its Is Used In Cities & Localities

In this Podcast we talk to Kath MGuire from the Cambridge who with a group of local citizens and academics from Anglia Ruskin University are exploring how the “doughnut economics” described by Kate Raworth (in her book of the same name) can be applied to local authorities and communities.

It maybe a strange term to talk about doughnut economics but many communities and indeed cities across the globe are using Doughnut economics as a framework to bring what they do within the sustainability limits of the planet.

Amsterdam has adopted the Doughnut economic model as Brussels has and other cities are looking at it as well. Together with the Green New Deal it can provide a model for us to use to achieve the world we want and provide well being to all.

Cambridge now have a group working with Anglia Ruskin University to look at how it can be applied to their city and other cities in the UK are looking at it as well.

Doughnut economics was inspired by Kate Raworth in her book and it is has caught the interest of many local authorities as well as nation states.
