Dimensions of the Doughnut
An introduction to each of the 21 social and ecological dimensions of the Doughnut
Version 2.0 (September 2024)
ššš Ā”TambiĆ©n disponibles en EspaƱol!
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!

Academically I am an environment science graduate. Professionally I have experience of leading community based sustainable development program for almost 15 years. I continuously look for innovative and affordable eco-friendly ideas. My search has helped me to link with several organization and concepts which I see my desire resonates to and would like to be part of.
