Doughnut Academia

As scientists concerned about the climate crisis, we set out to rethink the role and goals of the university in tackling the 21st century’s challenges. Building directly on Doughnut Economics, we suggest seven principles for rethinking the norms of academia and scientific practice so that our universities can work better for people and respond to the climate and ecological crisis.

These ideas, and our call to action, are described our paper: Urai AE, Kelly C (2023) Rethinking academia in a time of climate crisis. eLife 12:e84991. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.84991
