Powerful finding in this concise & punchy report. Over 90% of UK business professionals surveyed believe businesses should align with the principles of Doughnut Economics - but most massively underestimate how many of their peers also do. @jenimiles.bsky.social www.jenimiles.com/research/pos...

‘It feels cool to be a cog in change’: how doughnut economics is reshaping a Swedish town A casual mention of Kate Raworth’s theory has grown into the basis for decision making in Tomelilla

A little town in Sweden - Tomelilla - is pioneering what it means to put Doughnut Economics into practice. This could well become inspiration to many towns and villages seeking to create a different kind of future... @doughnuteconomics.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hi Matthew - totally agree, these times are not uniquely tough, and so I didn't say so. But they are not so easy either.

If you're searching for inspiration in these extraordinarily challenging times, look to the possibilities that history holds. This deeply thought-provoking book by my favourite social philosopher (yes he's my partner) is now out in paperback. A powerful summer read awaits @romankrznaric.bsky.social

Hi David, I'd love to understand what gave you that impression. It's quite the opposite: the slides we provide are like a set of ingredients - you can pick and mix as many or as few as you like.

BP shifts course, boosting fossil fuel investments and cutting renewables BP said on Wednesday it would increase annual oil and gas investment to $10 billion, returning the focus to fossil fuels, as part of CEO Murray Auchincloss' efforts to boost returns and improve financial performance.

The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stone.

Society has changed before at the scale we need it to today: but that change was never catalyzed by presidents, PMs, or CEOs of the richest companies of the time.

The fossil fuel age won’t end until we ordinary people demand it does.

"Millionaires alone are on track to burn 72% of the remaining carbon budget for 1.5 degrees. This is an egregious assault on humanity and the living world and none of us should accept it. We need to realize that it is irrational and unjust for us to continue devoting our energy and resources to support an overconsuming elite in the middle of a climate emergency." – Jason Hickel

We Must Draw The Line

Extreme wealth threatens our democracy, our planet, and our society as we know it.

Over 370 millionaires and billionaires have a message for the world leaders at Davos: draw the line and tax us, the super rich, to save the world.
