Keynote Presentation – Doughnut Economics: From a Radical Idea into Transformative Action
 |
Carlota Sanz, Co-founder of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) and DEAL’s Strategic Lead will present the vision of Doughnut Economics and how it’s being turned into transformative action to create ecologically safe and socially just cities and places around the world. Doughnut Economics proposes an economic mindset that’s fit for the 21st century context and challenges. It’s not a set of policies and institutions, but rather a way of thinking that brings about the regenerative and distributive dynamics that this century calls for. Drawing on insights from diverse schools of economic thought – including ecological, feminist, institutional, behavioural and complexity economics. The City of Nanaimo, first City in Canada to adopt the Doughnut Strategy for its economic development, is sponsoring this session. |
