Over the past 20 years, Kate’s career has taken her from working with micro-entrepreneurs in the villages of Zanzibar to co-authoring the Human Development Report for UNDP in New York, followed by a decade as Senior Researcher at Oxfam. She is also a Senior Associate at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. Kate Raworth is a Senior Visiting Research Associate at Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute. So how can a new economic model help us to operate in a space that is both ecologically safe and socially just? She draws up the alternative model “Doughnut Economics”, where the outer ring of the doughnut marks the environmental limits for human activity and the inner ring the limits for acceptable living standards for humans. Kate Raworth, Research Associate at Oxford University, has recently published a book that challenges the traditional economic theories that evolved during the 19 th and 20 th century. The great challenge for our generation is how to satisfy the needs of people and societies within existing planetary assets and resources. Join us for a seminar on “Doughnut Economy” and a discussion about how environmental challenges such as access to water can be met through “the Doughnut Economy” models.

A side view of the earth showing a line at the middle for the equator, lines at 23.5 N and S for the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles at 66.5 degrees North and South, respectively.
