It's well past time we reoriented the economy to serve people and the environment instead of profit and rent extraction. #WellbeingEconomy.

Today, DEAL is launching the latest update of the global Doughnut, now monitoring trends in social shortfall and ecological overshoot across the 21st century.

Infographic with a Doughnut diagram. Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries monitors a world out of balance. As global economy doubles, progress to end poverty is slow, while planetary overshoot worsens.
📢BIG NEW STUDY📢
Out today in Nature: the all-new Doughnut! Transformed from a single-year snapshot to an annual global monitor of 21st century social & ecological thriving. Available to all in an open-access paper by @kateraworth.bsky.social and myself. 🧵 1/

PS We are delighted that many people use the Doughnut diagrams in their work - so pls do help us spread awareness of this new version by reposting this thread, many thanks!

Just seen the latest work from the Doughnut Economic Lab highlighting the huge inequalities between the richest and poorest nations and the accelerating planetary metacrisis we are in.
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
For me, our latest Doughnut findings underscore the urgency and importance of the collective work to move beyond GDP as the measure of economic success, reorienting economies to create a future that provides a good life for all within planetary boundaries. Dive in! /FIN

We disaggregate the global results into country clusters by income. Median results show the richest 20% of countries (home to 15% of people) are responsible for over 40% of ecological overshoot in 2017, while the poorest 40% (home to 42% of people) experience more than 60% of global deprivation. 3/

We analyse 35 global indicators from 2000-2022. Median results show slow progress in ending human deprivation, which must *speed up fivefold* to meet global goals by 2030, while rapid ecological damage must *reverse at nearly twice the current pace* to safeguard a stable planet by mid-century. 2/
