On 6-9 November 2024, the global community of Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) will be celebrating Global Donut Days, a multi-day, community-led festival, to be held online and in-person around the world, centred on Doughnut Economics.
What’s New This Year
Last year Global Donut Day saw participation in 26 countries, 56 places, over 100 events and more than 4000 people on one day. This year, Global Donut Days will be a multi-day event to allow more flexibility and opportunity for organising local events.
Global Donut Days will start with a day of online events on 6th November. This will be followed by three days of events from 7th to 9th November, organised by members of the DEAL Community, all around the world, centred on the ideas of Doughnut Economics.

What People Said
“As a team, we’ve been wanting to bring the Doughnut to the city for years and Global Donut Day was just the push we needed to get started.” - Alexandra Anghel, Cluj Sustainable, Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
“Global Donut Day was great. We loved it, as it helped us a lot. We will now make a project on rainwater harvesting with the community and with the school of design that resulted from a workshop we organized in the GDD. So it was very very useful!” Eva Valencia-Lenero, Tricolour Coalition, Mexico City, Mexico
“It was really powerful, being able to connect with people globally around our work and around a much bigger story of economic transformation.” - Catriona Rawsthorne, CIVIC SQUARE, Birmingham, UK
