#GGKPwebinar - Can a Doughnut Help Us Recover From COVID-19?

24 FEB 2021

Doughnut Economics is a new economic model and mindset that operates “in the space between a social foundation and an ecological ceiling.”

On 24 February (4pm CET/10am EST) join the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP), Korea Green Growth Trust Fund and World Bank Group for a webinar featuring Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist, and a panel of experts that will explore how the doughnut approach can help us #BuildBackBetter from COVID-19 and drive inclusive, green growth in emerging and developing markets.

Much of the discussion will focus on the role of the development agencies in supporting a transition “from GDP to doughnut” around the world.   

Discussion questions:

How can we build a post-COVID doughnut economy?

What does doughnut economics look like in emerging and developing markets?

How can the global community/development partners support emerging economies to building back better using the doughnut model?
