Dimensions of the Doughnut
An introduction to each of the 21 social and ecological dimensions of the Doughnut
Version 2.0 (September 2024)
🌍🌎🌏 ¡También disponibles en Español!
Overview
This tool is a series of slides that show each of the 21 dimensions of the Doughnut. For each dimension, there is a short description, the data for the Global Doughnut (soon Doughnut 3.0!), and images of live initiatives/projects happening in practice all over the world.
These initiatives aim to capture the essence of the dimension and how we may move towards the Doughnut for each of them. There is still a lot of movement to be done in this respect, but each example shows a range of actions happening around the world to inspire and encourage people, particularly young people, who are so aware of the social and ecological challenges globally, and many of whom are so involved in leading action.
This tool can be used as a resource to support teaching in or outside education spaces, to present and/or expand ideas about the Doughnut, as well as a practical tool to use in workshop activities. A tool to use in everything that has to do with opening pathways towards distributive and regenerative futures!

Founding Member & Lead Developer of https://greenheart.coop Experienced fullstack developer, curious about how tech, systems thinking and business (re)design can be combined to create a positive impact. Since 2015, I've worked with early stage startups and non-profits to create a future where both humanity and the living planet thrive together. I'm passionate about how free and open source software and co-operatives can help create an economy that is regenerative and distributive by design. I want to create digital experiences and solutions that empower people and civil society. Technology is exciting, but never the end goal. This desire to take a holistic approach helps me contribute more than just code to help the team succeed. Let's co-create a future that is regenerative and distributive by design! 🌿
