“Economies that work for all”: Kate Raworth and “Doughnut Economics”

Economist Kate Raworth, cofounder of the “Doughnut Economics,” is the guest of the fourth episode of “Economies that work for all,” a podcast series that explores how economies and human rights can work hand in hand and unlock progress towards the 2030 Agenda.

Raworth, a Senior Teaching Fellow at Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute, discusses how we can create economies that satisfy everyone’s fundamental needs while respecting the Earth’s well-being.

Using the “Doughnut Economics” framework, which places human dignity, social justice, and environmental sustainability at the core of economic policy-making, Raworth presents an economic model that moves beyond GDP, closely aligned with the idea of a human rights economy.

“Economies that work for all” is organized by UN Human Rights and the UN System Staff College - Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development.

Tune in for a fascinating conversation on economic equity, sustainable growth, and the climate crisis.
