Interactive Seminar: Into the Doughnut
The U3AC Environment Group presented this interactive seminar on Doughnut Economics on Friday 24th November 2023.
​
The speakers were Jeremy Johnson and Paul Paxton, members of the Cambridge Doughnut Economics Action Group (CamDEAG)
The seminar provided information about the Doughnut model, what is happening globally and locally, and explored what communities can do to enable change. Doughnut Economics is an approach to establishing a green economy which promotes a sustainable world balancing the social needs of humans and the ecological limits of the planet so that we can all thrive.
​
Participants discussed what they could do to enable both people and the earth to thrive in a green economy, and committed to further actions to put Doughnut principles into action.
