Tackling interconnected crises — from climate breakdown to social inequality — requires government workforces with the wellbeing and resilience to operate at their full potential.

I'm Jake, a regulatory policy professional working at the intersection of sustainable finance and systems change. At the Financial Reporting Council I contributed to the drafting of the 2026 UK Stewardship Code trying, in practice, to shift how institutional capital behaves. I came to Doughnut Economics because it resolves a tension I kept running into: the assumption that growth is the only legitimate measure of success, and that environmental and social floors are constraints on the economy rather than its foundations. I'm increasingly focused on what a genuinely regenerative economy looks like in practice, particularly around biodiversity finance and climate adaptation in Southern Africa, where I'm exploring how to put policy and advocacy skills to more direct use. Keen to connect with people working on local economic redesign, natural capital frameworks, or the politics of actually getting any of this implemented.

Maniyur Gram Panchayat in Kozhikode district from Kerala, India, has adopted Doughnut Economics as a planning framework for their annual budget for 2026-2027. It is the first local government institution in India to formally work with Doughnut Economics. The work is being supported by the Centre for Rural Management (CRM). The overarching objective is to expand the 'safe and just space for humanity' by bringing Doughnut Economics into the budget, implementation and monitoring systems.
