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 three Bay Area cities.
Hear directly from three California Doughnut Economics Coalition (CalDEC) leaders working to bring this approach into practice:
- Lisa Charpontier, San José lead
- Kyle Ciullo, San Francisco lead
- Amelia Eichel, Santa Cruz & Watsonville lead
They will share how a Doughnut project progresses from inception to implementation and what residents can do to help shape a wellbeing economy in their communities.
This discussion will explore:
- How Doughnut Economics is emerging in 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 these three areas have become pillars of a strong statewide coalition, and how these cities are experimenting with new ways to measure success beyond traditional economic growth.
