CELEBRATION OF THE POSSIBLE

Celebration of the possible

With so much doom & gloom in the world, it’s easy to feel helpless and overwhelmed, this has to change! We are taking back our future and through the wonderful framework of Doughnut Economics.

Bringing together communities, organisations, councils, academia and civil society, we are creating a shared vision of a happier healthier future and charting a pathway to get there over the next 10 years, aligning existing projects and filling in any of the gaps.

Our Goal

Our goal is to unify and enable collective change to support what matters most to people. Building a sustainable future for us all to live, work and thrive in, through a 10-year actionable framework.

To keep us on course we will be Celebrating the Possible at an annual event, the first Staffordshire & Stoke-On-Trent COP2024 taking place in March 2024!

What is

Doughnut Economics

Think of it as a compass for human prosperity in the 21st century, with the aim of meeting the needs of all people within the means of the living planet.

The Doughnut consists of two concentric rings: a social foundation, to ensure that no one is left falling short on life’s essentials, and an ecological ceiling, to ensure that humanity does not collectively overshoot the planetary boundaries that protect Earth’s life-supporting systems. Between these two sets of boundaries lies a doughnut-shaped space that is both ecologically safe and socially just: a space in which humanity can thrive.

The Doughnut is the core concept at the heart of Doughnut Economics.
