Background
London is one of the world’s business and finance hubs but it faces many challenges. Prosperous but facing growing levels of poverty and inequality. Relatively clean and green but with a massive footprint on environmental and social conditions of people around the world.
The second City Portrait looks at London through Doughnut Economics’ four lenses - Local Social, Local Ecological, Global Ecological, and Global Social.
In this session, we will look through our findings to paint a portrait of how London stands against key indicators of the social foundations of a good life for all and the ecological ceiling of a healthy planet.
And we will offer some pointers towards how London’s economy could be redesigned for a regenerative, equitable and resilient future inside the Doughnut.
