We welcome economist and ‘Doughnut Economics’ founder, Kate Raworth, to discuss how we can create economies that satisfy everyone’s fundamental needs while respecting Earth’s limits. Using the ‘Doughnut Economics’ framework, which places human dignity, social justice, and environmental sustainability at the core of economic policy-making, Raworth presents another alternative vision for redefining progress in the 21stcentury, that is closely aligned with the idea of a ‘human rights economy’.

If you care about economic equity and sustainable growth, this episode presents a tangible approach to tackle the climate crisis and work towards a sustainable future for both people and the planet.
