Can a doughnut make Sheffield fairer?

How can Doughnut Economics help Sheffield become a home to thriving people in a thriving place, while respecting the wellbeing of all people and health of the whole planet?

How can Doughnut Economics help Sheffield become a home to thriving people in a thriving place, while respecting the wellbeing of all people and health of the whole planet? Join Emma Woods from Flourish Economics for a 2.5 hour participatory workshop, hosted by the Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures, to find out and understand what it would mean for Sheffield to live “in the doughnut”.

Doughnut Economics introduces the idea of the safe and just space for humanity which sits between the social foundation and the ecological ceiling. This is the space where people and the planet can thrive in harmony.

Through this 2.5 hour workshop we will look at Sheffield through 4 lenses, which can help us to understand what it means to live well within planetary boundaries.

Together we’ll explore:
- What would it mean for everyone here to live a good life?
- What if nature’s generosity became a benchmark for our communities?
- What would it mean for Sheffield to remain within planetary boundaries?
- How can we ensure the way we live here respects and enhances the lives of people worldwide?
