Introduction
and principles
of Doughnut
Economics
Introduction
Economic growth is both sociallly and ecologically unsustainable
It is based on an extrative design of natural resources and of private benefits
A new, radically different design is needed, ecologically regenerative and
socially distributive
Donut Economics aligns with the principles of Ecological Economics, the
Economy for the common Good, and Degrowth.
Introduction
Barcelona does not start from zero
It has understood the need for
change
Social and Solidarity Economy is
uderway
The Climate Plan – Climate
Emergency declaration
It should now adopt the Doughnut
Economics vision
Introduction
The multiple crises that are a consequence of
capitalism are more than climate change
Permacrisis
Avoid a vision only focussed on climate change
as the problem
Multiple visions, plurality of social dimensions
and of environmental dimensions
According to Kate Raworth, an economy that
thrives has to achieve the objectives of social
justice and ecological safety.
Avoid the carbon tunnel vision.

Principles of Doughnut Economics
Doughnut Economics:
Seven Ways to Think like a 21st Century Economist
(2017)
Give up the goal of infinite economc growth
Give up the goal of sustainable development
Seek for prosperity instead, both social and
planetary
The new economic model must be absed on a
socially
distributive and ecologically regenerative design
The Planetary Boundaries theory informs the
ecological dimensions
SD goals inform on social dimensions.
The Doughnut Economics Model proposed by Kate Raworth.

Principles of Doughnut Economics
Seven waysto think as a XXIst century economist.
Source: doughnuteconomics.org
1. Give up GDP as the Only Indicator of progress and focus on
the multiple social and environmental objectives of the
doughtnut.
2. The economy is a sub-system of society and the environment,
markets should not dominate the economy.
3. Forget assuming a selfish human nature and see it as socially
adaptable, diverse and welcoming.
4. The economy operates more as a complex and dynamic life
organismo rather than as a simple mechanism subject to
equilibrum.
5. Capitalism increases inequalities, we need a socially
redistributive economic design.
6. Growth increases environmental problems, we need an
ecologically regenerative economic design.
7. Give up growth addiction and be agnostic about it, what
matters is to thrive.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
From sustainabel development to doughnut economics.
Font: Ajuntament de Barcelona
The sustainable development concept is put
aside because it does not question growth, it is
actually an excuse tocontinue with Business-as-
usual
The SDG are taken as a reference for the social
aspects of the doughnut –except Goal n. 8,
«economic growth» which is excluded.

Application
of Doughnut
Economics
and its tools
Application of Doughnut Economics
Conceptual framework of the Ends-Means spectrum.
Source: O’Neill, 2012
Antecedent: Daly’s Ends-Means
spectrum is the basis to define
indicators in ecological economics
The economy has to sustainably
manage natural resourcesin order to
meet the goals of a thriving society
Natural resource use indicators and
social achievement indicators are
proposed.
Application of Doughnut Economics
Biophysical boundaries trespassed vs social thresholds achieved, per each country.
Source: https://goodlife.leeds.ac.uk/
Global perspective: no country in the world
fits in the doughnut
They either do not reach the social minimum
Or –like in the Spanish State- they hit too
many planetary boundaries
Therefore no country could be seen as
“developed”.
Number of biophysical boundaries trespassed
Numberofsocialthresholdsachieved
Number of biophysical boundaries trespassed 1992-2015 trend.
Source: https://goodlife.leeds.ac.uk/
Temporal perspective: the eonomic growth observed
between 1992 and 2015 has not contributed to social
improvements as much as it has contributed to worsen
environmental conditions.
Beween 1992 and 2015 there has been a global worsening
of all the PB-related indicators
In 1992, between 32% and 55% of countries hit some of the
PB. In 2015 these were between 50% i 66%.
Meanwhile, between 1992 and 2015 a global improvemnet
has been observed only for 5 social indicators (i.e. life
expectancy, education), 2 have no changed, and 2 have
worsened (social support social and equality).
Long term economic growth = worsening of environmental
conditions, of social support and of social equity.
Application of Doughnut Economics
From the doughnut to the 4 lenses portrait.
Source: doughnuteconomics.org
General aspectes: Doughnut Economics
Action Lab is the think tank that puts ideas into
practice.
When applied at a city or a region’s scale, the
doughnut unrolled tool is proposed.
It includes 4 lenses adding the spatial
dimension that relates locals aspirations with
global responsabilities .
Aims at answering the questions: “How can
people in this city thrive, in an environment that
is as generous as the nature that surrounds it,
while respecting the well-being of the planet
and all people?”
It is made of 4 lenses: Local Ecological, Local
Social, Global Ecological i Global Social.
Tools for applying Doughnut Economics
The dimensions of each lens of the portrait
Source: doughnuteconomics.org
General aspects: each lens takes into account some
relevant dimensions.
Local Social: 15 dimensions related with SDG. (In our
process we have used 16).
Local Ecological: 8 dimensions related with ecosistem
functions. (In our process we have used 10).
Global Ecological: 9 dimensions related withe the impact of
our lifestyle on planetary boundaries.
Global Social: 12 dimensions of the SDG that can be
affected by the relationship between city actors and the
rest of people in the world, via our consumptions patterns,
global supply chains, political regimes, border control or
cultural connections.
44 dimensions in total…. and many more indicators!
Tools for applying Doughnut Economics
The tool Powers to act for organizations.
Source: doughnuteconomics.org
General aspectes: a second tool
developed by DEAL is the “Powers to
act for organizations”; it is thought for
cities and local governments as well
as for businesses and other
organizations.
It relates the extractive economy of
the past with the doughnut economy
of the XXIst century. It does so from 5
angles, or powers to act.
These are the purpose of the
organization, the networks it uses, the
governance model, ownership of the
organization and how it is financed.

The process in Barcelona
We do not start from zero: the city
alredy has some plans, strategies and
programmes in place related to the
different dimensions of the donut.
Moreover, the donut process is
framed within the renovation of the
citizens’ compromise with sustanibility
2012-2022, born as a continuation of
the Local Agenda 21 process (2002-
2012).

Other cities and regions have started embracing
doughnut economy.
To help in defining the process for Barcelona we
have analyzed the processes of Amsterdam,
Brussel, Leeds and Cronwall.
In Amsterdam a circular economy strategy has
resulted from the process.
Brussel Region has worked at different spatial
scales, including the micro, where everyday use
objects have been analyzed under the 4 lenses
approach.
Leeds has desenrolled and re-enrolled the donut
producing a graphic image of its data portrait.
Cornwall has developed a donut for decisión
making processes.
We have also analyzed the cases of other cities
such as Melbourne, Berlin, Copenhaguen, London
and Paris.

The Doughnut process
Phase 1 (June-November 2021) consisted of the
project kick-off and of a desk-based indicators
search In phase 2 (November 2021-November
2022) the different meetings, workshops and
public talks and debates took place.
We have participated in several activities of the
Doughnut Economics Action Lab
We have set up a steering committee and a floowup
comisssion in order to give an internal structure
and validate the whole process.
We have organized participatory workshops, the
“Transition cycle” of conferences and debates with
the keynote speakers.

The Doughnut process
Phase 2 activites have been a
combination of:
• Application of the tools developed
by DEAL –the data portrait and the
community portrait and the Powers
to act tool.
• Awarness raising via public
conferences and debates, the
“Transitions cycle”.
• The municipal participatory
process with the
Barecelona+Sustainbale network
with a couple of workshops in
autumn: “common challenges and
main projects”.

Phase 1: indicators research
In the desk-based research of pase 1 we preselected moire tan 350
indicators, mainly from the local lenses.
They are largely drawn from the indicators of the citizen Compromise
and the BCN2030 SDG agenda.
We searched for actual values and their targets.
We have used both legally determined targets and the more ambitous,
science-based ones.
We have searched for the most local scale available for each indicator.
For the Global Ecological lens we have scaled down to the district level.

Phase 2: participatory process
Step into action
The levers of change workshop with Kate
Raworth was well attended (June 10).
Based on the results of the workshops and
the transitions cycle, 8 common challenges
were identified.
In autumn, the B+S network was convened
for the last two participatory workshops
From the 8 challenges, presented on
November 8th in the third workshop, ideas
were identified to be put into action.
In the last workshop, on November 29th,
the ideas were concretized in 5 tractor
projects.

4Results
Starting point: preselection of more
than 200 indicators for the 47
dimensions that make up the 4
lenses; the dimensions of the local
lenses have more than one indicator.
They were validated in the first online
participatory workshop on May 5th.
The actual value ​​of each indicator is
related to the target value which
would place us “within the Donut".
These goals are derived from official
objectives, as well as from more
ambitious objectives, based on
science, that refer to what a
regenerative and a distributive
economy should be. Through its
subsequent representation in the rerolled
doughnut, the distance that
must be covered to reach the goal is
related to the social deficit / ecological
excess of the actual value. This is
called the "Donut position".
For a simplified representation of the
local dimensions, we have selected
one representative indicator among
the many that belong to that
dimension.
Different ways of re-rolling the Donut
are represented. In its complete
representation, the local lenses
appear in the lower semi-circle and
the global ones in the upper one; as
always, social deficits go inwards and
ecological excesses outwards.

We have also done the representation for each of the 10 districts of Barcelona
municipality. We assume that the higher the income per capita, the greater the
environmental impact.
High-income districts like Les Corts or Sarrià-Sant Gervasi have a much greater impact
than Ciutat Vella or Nou Barris.

Global Social lens- GS
DEAL methodology developed for
the first time with quantitative
indicators.
Starting from our material footprint
(as in the GE lens) we relate it to the
countries of origin of the materials
we import.
For those countries we then look at
the values ​​of their social indicators
(goodlife.leeds.ac.uk), and calculate
a weighted average for them. This
actual value is then related to the
objective values as ​​established on
the same website.

For all the indicators measured, and with the exception of
the employment indicator, people in the countries of origin
of the imported materials live worse than in Spain.
Our consumption pattern does not contribute to improving
the quality of life in those countries.
Our social welfare is due to the exploitation of people and
workers from other countries.

The conference dealt with the topic of setting a Culture
of Limits.
The debate went along these lines, as expected, and it
was concluded that:
1 We need to think about how to make the cultural
change to transform the idea of ​​limits into something
enriching (instead of something negative), one that
awakens our creativity and gives us autonomy.
2 Promote initiatives related to the common good and
discourage capitalist practices and behaviors.
3 Educate about limits, both to children and adults,
changing the current narrative that sees limits as a
problem.
4 The limits in the political sphere: politics is not to
prohibit what is excessive, but to develop and
encourage what generates more well-being. Sometimes
it will be in the form of a limit, others in the form of an
incentive, of innovation, etc.

actions and elements that pull us back, towards
the economy of the 20th century and those that
move us towards the Donut Economy of the 21st
century. They were divided between the 5 levers
of change: purpose, network, governance,
financing and ownership.

Results (IV) – 5th November workshop
Common Challenges
In preparation for the November 5th workshop, the
8 main challenges facing the city were identified.
They have been defined based on the results of
the two city portraits, of the debates from the
transitions cycle and of the levers of change
workshop.
The challenges are:
The climate emergency
The loss of biodiversity
The food model
The consumption model
Access to housing
Safe, sustainable and healthy mobility
The energy model
The culture of limits
We have proposed Actions and Projects that can
address these challenges so that 16 ideas of
Collaborative Projects and a set of 49 actions
proposals came out of this workshop.
The list of Projects:
Naturalize the city's schools by greening roofs and patios
Promote intergenerational gardens
Climate emergency as an art: each neighborhood with its sustainable
graffiti
Consume less meat in community meals
Reuse leftovers to prevent food waste
Recycle bicycles in disuse
A grand prize for sustainable mobility: counting kilometers without
emissions
Cycle-friendly companies and schools: get to work and to school on a
bike
Car-free streets 2.0
Energy marathon of the B+S Network
Convert local public facilities into socio-environmental nodes
“Let's do numbers!”: activate a carbon footprint indicator in buildings
and constructions
Live with less: spread the culture of limits in our consumption
Localize yourself: encourage local consumption in the neighborhoods
of the city ​
Open the roofs, connect the communities
Map bad smells and turn them into therapeutic aromas
Results (IV) – 26th November workshop
Tractor Projects
Between the two workshops in November, the 16 project
proposals were synthesized into 7 more viable projects
according to the following criteria:
lined up with the identified priorities Transformers. That
changes reality and improves Cooperatives. That involve
several agents, with Adaptable connections. That support
different roles and degrees of involvement Scalable and
replicable. In different territories and Creative sectors.
Innovative and that promote learning With impact. Tangible,
quantifiable and lasting result Communicatives.
Comprehensible, visual, attractive Inclusive. Allow citizens
to participate without distinctions Limited. In Viable time.
Economically and in the dedication of people
In the workshop on November 26, actions and agents
needed to carry out these 7 projects were looked at
The 7 Projects, grouped in 5 areas are:
Mobility Model
1. Let's get active!: transfer users from private vehicles to bicycles
and on foot in their daily journeys.
Energy model
2. We charge batteries on the roof!: increase the energy produced
in the city from renewable sources.
Food model
3. All to graze!: reduce the consumption of animal protein (from
intensive production)
4. This has no 'waste'!: reduce food waste.
Green and biodiversity
5. A city full of life: increase and improve the green area in public
and private spaces.
Production, consumption and lifestyle model
6. Limit yourself and become circular: reduce material
consumption, promote production and circular consumption.
7. Localize yourself: promote consumption in local commerce of
locally manufactured products.

5Proposals
• Data portrait: improve future analyses of the donut and
understand the functioning of the city. More research is needed on
the missing indicators and objectives: in the local social lens, 15
out of 88 indicators have no defined objectives, and in the local
ecological lens, 15 out of 50 indicators require clearer objectives.
Improving data analysis is crucial for a comprehensive assessment.
• Community portrait at the neighborhood level: establish a
relationship with local organizations and learn from experiences in
other cities as an action to improve the effectiveness of community
portraits at the neighborhood level. Through the exchange of
knowledge and experiences, we can empower local organizations
and promote sustainable urban development, so that positive
changes in neighborhoods are encouraged.
• City Comparison: different cities can be compared using donut
indicators to gain insight into their sustainability levels. A
preliminary analysis can be done using indicators that are similar to
those used in Barcelona. Comparing cities in the same context can
provide a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities
for change through legislation and policy.
• Power to act workshops for organizations: The powers to act tool
facilitates organizational transformation in areas such as purpose,
governance, finance, ownership, and networks. It is recommended
to engage with companies that align with the donut and
demonstrate socio-ecological awareness to implement this
approach.
• The Nano Dimension of the donut–use the four lenses approach to
analyse the impact of everyday items such as mobile phones,
fashion products, bicycles, scooters, etc..
1. Emergència climàtica: prendre mesures per reduir les
emissions dels béns importats a través de la producció
local, la fabricació respectuosa amb el medi ambient i de
cadenes de subministrament més ecològiques.
2. Pèrdua de biodiversitat: millorar la biodiversitat urbana
amb l’ús d’eines com ara l'índex de Singapur i la integració
de corredors verds en paisatges urbans.
3. Model alimentari: col·laborar amb els grups d'interès per
desenvolupar una política alimentària sòlida, amb la
reducció del malbaratament i el foment de pràctiques
sostenibles.
4. Sistema de mobilitat: integrar les perspectives del dònut
en el Pla de mobilitat urbana per defensar principis bàsics
alineats amb el marc del dònut.
5. Habitatge: col·laboració amb les administracions d’àmbit
superior per abordar els reptes de l'habitatge.
6. Model energètic i materials: reduir l'impacte ambiental dels
materials renovables i no renovables, de manera que es
prioritzi la reducció del consum energètic i la transició cap
a una economia circular.
7. Model de consum: potenciar la contractació pública a
partir dels criteris del dònut i substituir els anuncis que
fomenten el consumisme per anuncis educatius.
8. Model cultural: promoure el consum sostenible a través
d'iniciatives educatives i amb l’establiment de polítiques
que evitin el consum excessiu i el malbaratament.

6Conclusions
The Donut model, inspired by Kate Raworth’s
approach to the economics for the 21st century,
combines environmental sustainability and social
justice. It diverges from outdated growth-focused
economics and focuses on ecological limits and
social equity. Barcelona wants to transcend
sustainable development and align its local
aspirations with global responsibilities.

Debats i tallers
K Raworth: cal enfocar en economies regeneratives, no extractives (= economia circular, energies
renovables) i redistributives, no divisives (= ESS, anti-capitalisme)
J M Antò: salut planetària va sovint lligada amb salut humana (= disminuir impactes negatius en el nostre
estil de vida serà oportunitat per millorar també la ecologia)
G Kallis: hem de fomentar una cultura dels límits al consum excessiu. Decreixement actiu
