Doughnut Economics - Global Action Lab Update
Event description
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Please join the Australian Earth Laws Alliance (AELA), the Greenprints initiative, the New Economy Network Australia (NENA) and Regen Brisbane, for a FREE ONLINE WORKSHOP, that will share updates from the Doughnut Economy Action Lab.
Doughnut Economics, a concept developed by Kate Raworth, is now a global phenomenon, with people around the world using the framework for their cities and communities (https://doughnuteconomics.org/)
Our guest speaker Rob Shorter, is joining us live from the UK to provide:
- An introduction to the Doughnut Economy concept and principles;
- An introduction to the work of the Doughnut Economy Action Lab (DEAL);
- Examples of how people in other countries and communities are using the Doughnut Economy framework, and
- Examples of how to create a 'city portrait' using the Doughnut.
We'll then have ample time for questions and discussions, facilitated by Dr Michelle Maloney
ABOUT OUR SPEAKER - ROB SHORTER
Rob Shorter is based in the UK, and leads the Doughnut Economy Action Lab's (DEAL) work with communities of place and purpose that are drawing on the concepts of Doughnut Economics to respond to social and ecological crises. Rob is most interested in the ways in which everyone can contribute to reimagining the Economy, and as part of his Masters at Schumacher College, he created the Imagination Sundial, a framework for teachers, designers and facilitators to intentionally cultivate the collective imagination. At DEAL, Rob creates - and supports others to create - playful methods to engage with Doughnut Economics that invite people to think and relate in ways that open up new economic possibilities.
ABOUT GREENPRINTS & THE GREENPRINTS EXCHANGE
Greenprints is an Australian framework that empowers Aussie communities to develop regenerative societies and economies, that can thrive within bioregional and Planetary Boundaries. Greenprints is being used by communities around Australia, as it provides a practical, step-by-step approach to help people understand both the big picture and the small details of how to transform our societies, so we can respect First Nations leadership, care for the environment, build new economies and thrive within safe ecological and climate limits.
Greenprints can bring people together across communities and bioregions, to forge new futures, by joining up our existing and new efforts and initiatives. It connects people with the many varied concepts, models and methods that can be used to create ecocentric, sustainable and regenerative communities. (Including Planetary Boundaries, Doughnut Economics, the Global Ecological Footprint Method, Rights of Nature, Earth Laws, First Laws, SDGs and many other tools and concepts!)
The GREENPRINTS EXCHANGE is a community of people with expertise across an array of knowledge systems and areas of expertise, including: Indigenous law, philosophy and culture, across natural sciences, social sciences, design, law, planning, food systems, design, the arts and more. The Exchange is quite literally a way for people to meet, exchange ideas and share their expertise with the Greenprints team, and Greenprints communities.
