Interactive Doughnut
I used an online graphing calculator to make a model doughnut
Overview
A simple, intuitive, interactive model for visualising how well we are staying inside the doughnut.
At this link, you will find an example of a doughnut, where you can directly directly adjust the values of the inner and outer circles including:
- food
- health
- education
- income and work
- peace and justice
- political voice
- social equity
- gender equality
- housing
- networks
- energy
- water
On the inner circle and
- climate change
- ocean acidification
- chemical pollution
- nitrogen and phosphorus loading
- freshwater withdrawals
- land conservation
- biodiversity loss
- air pollution
- ozone layer depletion
On the outer circle.
At the top of the interactive, there is a slider which allows the user to compare their custom doughnut to the 10 biggest economies. Data for these countries was based on OECD findings which were adjusted according to this document. Note that most of these scores are comparison based such that the best country will always get a 0 and the worst will always get a 10 though some lend themselves to objective measurement such as biodiversity loss which is measured by what percentage of mammal, bird and plant species are endangered. I'm working my way through
I'd love to hear any feedback you have for things I can improve on in this model, leave a comment down bellow or contact me directly at grant.r.official@gmail.com
I'm particularly interested in any quantitative relations you can find between say, education and income because I know that all these factors are linked and a major advantage of using a calculator for this model could be the ability to accurately display the effects of a change in any of these slices.
Update V 1.1.1
- Easier to adjust sliders
- Country presets (incomplete)

As Co-founder at QUBIZ.team—a Certified B Corporation™ pioneering quantum sensing and metrology—I align cutting-edge deep tech with planetary boundaries and social foundation needs. With an Executive MBA (IE Business School) and 30 years bridging technological innovation and market execution, my focus shifted a decade ago from traditional corporate leadership in Telecommunications to purpose-driven, impact-led ventures. My journey is rooted in the belief that advanced science must serve systemic regeneration. At QUBIZ.team, we harness quantum metrology to tackle critical environmental tipping points. Our first breakthrough addresses chemical pollution by enabling real-time detection of PFAS ('forever chemicals') in water—protecting ecosystems and public health. My work in ecosystem building—as Founding Curator of the Global Shapers Bilbao Hub (WEF), former Board Member of the Spanish Water Technology R&D Network (PTEA), active member of the Quantum Sensing Expert Group at the European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC), and co-promoter of the Spanish Quantum Alliance (SQuA)—directly shapes our regenerative mission. Guided by Buckminster Fuller’s vision to "build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete," I am committed to advancing Deep Tech for Good where economic viability and planetary well-being are measured as a single metric.
