Abstract
If humanity’s 21st century challenge is to create a world that meets the needs of all within the means of the living planet, right now all countries need to transform to achieve it - albeit in different ways given unique contexts and histories. Kate Raworth and Andrew Fanning will present the core concepts and tools of Doughnut Economics and share perspectives for Aotearoa / New Zealand with examples from change-makers worldwide –in communities, cities, and government - who are working to turn these ideas into transformative action.
