In 2022, Climate Action Leeds ran a 'Launch of the Leeds Doughnut' event to introduce the Doughnut Economics model and gather people's thoughts on how they could use Doughnut Economics in their work and everyday life.
​This video shows attendees and speakers' reflections on the event and their thoughts on the Doughnut Economics model
Doughnut Economics is a framework developed by Kate Raworth, which introduces a new way of thinking to help us tackle the complex local and global challenges ahead, together.
We see the Leeds Doughnut City Portrait as part of a bigger conversation about how we respond to climate change - how we protect nature, live a zero carbon way of life, and leave no one behind.
We hope this will be useful in Leeds and beyond - for researchers, policy makers, politicians, social entrepreneurs, community activists and residents.
We have used the Doughnut approach to create a portrait of the state of Leeds right now.
The summary document summarises a longer, more detailed report.
The Leeds Doughnut was a project of Climate Action Leeds, with additional funding generously provided by the University of Leeds.
The Doughnut approach is a way to think about how a place can meet its local aspirations while also living up to its global responsibilities.
This approach has been taken up by people all across the world, and is supported by the Doughnut Economics Action Lab.
