Kate Raworth and Hans Ulrich Obrist: Turning a Radical Idea Into Action
Online 28 Oct 2020
What does it take to create economies in service of making both, people and our planet, thrive?
That’s the starting point of Doughnut Economics, a concept that began on the back of an envelope and is fast becoming a global community of changemakers who are putting regenerative and distributive design into practice – in cities, businesses, government, communities and schools.
Author and Oxford economist Kate Raworth, who came up with this concept, will explore the core ideas of Doughnut Economics in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist.
What does this new approach to a more sustainable economy look like in daily life, and what enables ideas like this one to gain momentum, turning thoughts into action?
This conversation has been organized in collaboration with DLD and the Serpentine Galleries’ Back to Earth project, which brings together 65+ artist-led environmental campaigns.

Why the UNEP 1.5°C overshoot report must be an urgent call to action on climate change
As Greenpeace International explains in its policy briefing, a just transition is more than simply swapping coal, oil and gas for renewables. It is an opportunity to transform energy, transport, industrial and other systems so they are more secure and affordable, reduce inequality, protect ecosystems and shift power from elites and multi-billion-dollar corporations to people.
