Life

A green ring shows the intermediate state of deficits and overuse of social and ecological resources
Donut model (2017)

Raworth studied economics at Oxford. After working for the UN and Oxfam for 20 years, she is currently Visiting Research Fellow, Tutor and Advisory Board member of the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford . In 2017 she published The Donut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist, which was published as a German translation in 2018. It is an alternative to current economics that formulates conditions for a sustainable economy. For orientation, it is based on a graphic that is modeled on a donut ring (shown in footnote 2) and shows sustainable economic activity as a sphere between the deficit and an overuse of various social and ecological factors. The idea is closely related to the concept of planetary boundaries .

Raworth takes an active part in the public debate about ways out of the climate crisis . She is a co-signatory of an open letter published in December 2018, in which politicians are accused of having failed to address the crisis, called on to join movements like Extinction Rebellion and called on people to stop consuming.
