May Book Club: Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth
Details
May’s book is Doughnut Economics! We can also celebrate one year since the first Toronto Ladies Sustainability Book Club event!
Join us at a new location - to be shared with registered attendees - in Toronto’s East End. When the weather is nicer we will move to a patio location.
We have a casual discussion about the book in a round table format. New and repeat attendees are all welcome.
There are several great, short, Youtube videos on the topic if you want to familiarize yourself before jumping into the book.
About Kate Raworth’s Donut Economics:
What on Earth is the Doughnut?…
Humanity’s 21st century challenge is to meet the needs of all within the means of the planet. In other words, to ensure that no one falls short on life’s essentials (from food and housing to healthcare and political voice), while ensuring that collectively we do not overshoot our pressure on Earth’s life-supporting systems, on which we fundamentally depend – such as a stable climate, fertile soils, and a protective ozone layer. The Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries is a playfully serious approach to framing that challenge, and it acts as a compass for human progress this century.
