About the session
Join Kate Raworth, DEAL's Conceptual Lead, and Andrew Fanning, DEAL's Research & Data Analysis Lead for this one-hour launch event of the 2025 update of the global Doughnut, which includes a new set of resources that provide the first major stock-taking and update of the global Doughnut since 2017. These include a peer-reviewed study, a summary report, and an interactive webpage
Peer-reviewed study. A new open-access study has just been published in the scientific journal Nature, entitled 'Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries monitors a world out of balance', co-authored by Andrew Fanning, DEAL's Research & Data Analysis Lead and Kate Raworth, DEAL's Co-founder and Conceptual Lead. They analyse trends across 35 indicators from 2000 to 2022, transforming the 2017 version of the Doughnut from a snapshot in a single year to a monitor of 21st century trends. They also disaggregate the global Doughnut into country clusters, revealing the extent to which wealthy countries drive most of the overshoot while poorer countries bear the brunt of deprivation.
Evolving Doughnut report. Since it was first created in 2012, the Doughnut has kept evolving–in its dimensions, indicators and visualisation–and will continue to do so. In this new report, entitled 'The Evolving Doughnut', written by the Doughnut's creator Kate Raworth, she sets out where inspiration for the framework came from, and how and why it has evolved over its first three iterations. The report also includes the latest Doughnut diagrams, which are available for use in the creative commons.
'What is the Doughnut?' webpage. A new webpage, entitled 'What is the Doughnut?', is now available on the DEAL Platform. This webpage provides an overview of the Doughnut and how it has evolved, and it also hosts an interactive 'Doughnut Data Explorer' developed by Andrew Fanning, which visualises the latest quantitative Doughnut assessment, among other interactive visualisations. The quantitative data underpinning these visualisations will now be updated annually.
Kate and Andrew will present these latest resources and results, followed by a Q&A discussion period --do join us!

I am an entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial educator, currently working as a Sustainability Education & Innovation Lead at TU Dublin’s Office of the VP for Sustainability where I support colleagues from across the university to integrate education for sustainability and global citizenship into their practice meaningfully though competency-building approaches. My areas of teaching, research & collaborations include social entrepreneurship and impact, circular and regenerative approaches to business, education for sustainability and innovative pedagogical approaches for transformative learning. My focus has been on empowering learners with entrepreneurial mindsets to address complex social, environmental and economic challenges. Together with my colleague, Olivia Freeman, we have been experimenting with different embodied approaches to introducing doughnut economics to students, colleagues and communities. Our favourite is 'step into the doughnut' which we have delivered to almost 40 groups so far!
