Doughnut Economics for Climate Risks and Shocks (Past)
A co-creative webinar to anticipate and address climate-related shocks through the tools of Doughnut Economics
Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
This 2 hour webinar will explore how to turn some core concepts of Doughnut Economics into game-based learning tools for local and international communities of practitioners working on climate-related disasters. It will be co-hosted by Doughnut Economics Action Lab and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, and led by Kate Raworth and Pablo Suarez. Anyone who enjoys co-creating in groups is welcome to join - no prior expertise required.
We will work with two of DEAL's concepts: the Doughnut ; and the Embedded Economy diagram, especially with its focus on four key modes of provisioning - through markets, households, the commons and the state.
What happens to people in contexts of, say, a drought or flood? How do these shock affect families - what vulnerabilities does it expose them to, and how might they seek to cope? What compounding risks might they face, in the context of failed states and power inequalities? What measures could be taken to build resilience and protect human wellbeing by preventing such outcomes? With better awareness of these likely effects, what can humanitarian actors and others do to help protect people from the risk of these impacts?
We have created the beginnings of an engaging, game-based approach to exploring these issues and we invite you to help us improve, adapt and expand this so that we can publish it as a co-created resource for all to use. will be to explore ways of making these useful tools for practitioners working
Join the webinar ready to work together online to come up with new ideas and approaches that could be brought into the tool.
We look forward to working with you on this tool.

I wrote Doughnut Economics as the book that I wished I could have read when I was an economics student at university. It had far more traction than I could of imagined so I spent two years giving talks about it. Then I thought, OK, enough talk: who actually wants to do this? Because every day I was getting messages from teachers, community makers, city planners, entrepreneurs, civil servants - all of whom were starting to turn the ideas of Doughnut Economics into practice. I'm a big believer in the power of peer-to-peer inspiration. So often, the most inspiring person is someone like yourself - a fellow teacher, or mayor, or community leader - who is already doing that thing that you thought was impossible. So I cannot wait to see what happens in this community. Here's to the change-makers who just start doing it. Let's co-create the tools for a regenerative and distributive future. Let's share our stories of what we did and how - because that is what will inspire us all.

My name is Ronan Taylor. I have a background in paleoecology and herpetology. I have worked for organizations such as the Smithsonian and National Geographic and have conducted research on four different continents. I am currently trying to develop optimized modular systems of environmental restoration that utilize new technologies. I strongly believe that combating climate change is the challenge of our time and environmental restoration is a key component of this fight.
