With a touch of metropolitan arrogance, our chairwoman for Sustainability gave an interview to TIME magazine about this. Last year, they proclaimed Amsterdam a Doughnut City. The Doughnut Economy is not about economic growth, but about meeting social boundaries within the ecological limits of the planet.įortunately, our self-proclaimed 'greenest city council ever' has a towering ambition and an unprecedented sustainable drive. It is time to take a radically different look at economic development. Our addiction to endless economic growth has pushed our Earth to the brink of ecological abyss. The words 'British economist Kate Raworth' and 'Doughnut Economics' may not ring a bell with everyone, but in the sustainability world you are a well-established authority. During the Doughnut Days we will talk about how we put your theory into practice. They are wrong of course, because this week we celebrate your groundbreaking theory about a sustainable economy, as described in your book “Doughnut Economics”. Many citizens of Amsterdam might think this is a publicity stunt by the many doughnut shops in our city. Amsterdam is organizing the Doughnut Days this week.
