Local Series – Doughnut Economics on the Local Level

How can cities meet everyone’s needs while staying within the planet’s ecological limits? Join us for a conversation on how the Doughnut Economics framework is beginning to take shape in two Bay Area cities.

Hear directly from local leaders working to bring this approach into practice: Lisa Charpontier, San José lead with the California Doughnut Economics Coalition, and Kyle Ciullo, San Francisco lead. They will share insights from community engagement, the development of the California Doughnut Snapshot, and how this framework can help cities address challenges such as housing, inequality, and climate resilience.

This discussion will explore

• How Doughnut Economics is emerging in two CA cities and what tools work best to build it
• Challenges and opportunities that make the Bay Area unique for this framework
• Initiatives and policy conversations that move toward a Doughnut approach
• How city metrics can shift from GDP-style growth to measuring wellbeing and ecological impact

Join us to hear how San José and San Francisco are experimenting with new ways to measure success beyond traditional economic growth, and talk with these leaders about what residents can do to help shape a wellbeing economy in their communities.
