How This Doughnut Could Help Solve Global Inequality & The Climate Crisis
Global poverty and the climate crisis are some of the biggest problems humanity will face this century. In this video, we’ll touch on how these issues are linked and how this doughnut can/could help us solve them. We’ll discuss economic inequality through the metric of the Gini Index, then we’ll discuss that environmental impact such as greenhouse gas emissions and material use increase with increasing GDP, exacerbating the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis. Then finally, we’ll introduce the idea of Degrowth through ‘Doughnut Economics’.
