Global Donut Days is for everyone

Global Donut Days 2025 is a four-day, community-led festival, held online and in-person around the world, centred on Doughnut Economics, happening 14-17 October 2025.


2025 marks a new level of geopolitical instability in the world. From the rapid rise of authoritarian politics to military aggression, humanitarian crises and genocide, and to the sharp realities of climate and ecological breakdown, Global Donut Days is a time to come together. 

Our goal is to create belief that a different future is possible, and this is an event our community needs to build solidarity worldwide. Join us!
