California Doughnut Snapshot Released!

🚨 Big news! Our team at the California Doughnut Economics Coalition led by Alaitz Aritza, Stephanie Luz Cordel, & Julian Kraus-Polk has just released the first-ever Doughnut Snapshot of California’s economy! 🍩 📊 A fresh baked, holistic look at how the state is doing socially & environmentally. Check it out here - https://caldec.org/ca-dougnut-snapshot/

In total, we investigated well over 200 indicators and selected around 100 as potential fits for 20 categories generally included in doughnut assessments. We collaborated with experts from the Doughnut Economics Action Lab as well as regional experts within various local academic, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations to narrow and improve this list.

We found that 100% of social indicators fall short of delivering basic needs for all people, while 89% of ecological indicators overshoot our planetary boundaries.

We have done our best to connect with a wide range of stakeholders and experts around the state, however we acknowledge that these indicators are not perfect and invite feedback. We consider this a living document and hope that others will join in updating the California Doughnut.

Next up for our team… we are bringing Doughnut Economics to San Jose, CA —the heart of Silicon Valley! 🍩✨ We’re launching a Doughnut Snapshot of the economy of San Jose along with an education & awareness campaign. Learn more and Support the project - givebutter.com/zOrBcE
