I'm excited to announce the new update of the Sustainable Development Index. Costa Rica tops the list this time, with a life expectancy over 80 (!) and low levels of emissions and resource use. https://t.co/Ki50rIW0ZO

From a Doughnut perspective, every country - whether rich or poor - is a 'developing country', with social shortfall &/or ecological overshoot. Turning this around is our generational challenge. How's your country doing? Find out at this fantastic website https://t.co/8D59jZ9TMp

Solstice helps people tap into community solar, which means you don't have to worry about installing anything on your rooftop. You can buy a portion of a neighbourhood shared solar farm and switch to solar that way.

Churches, schools, community centers and libraries hold values – and have actual physical space – that supports sharing. Develop sharing programs inside these strongholds and work outwards.

I was once asked on TV whether I support a maximum wage (where incomes in excess of a set multiple of the minimum wage face a 100% tax). I demurred, fearing a trap. I wish I hadn't. I'm now convinced that such a policy is essential to creating a fairer, more ecological economy.

Communities where you trust others, share stories, spend time together, commit mutual acts of caring that lead to strong bonds & resiliency, are the communities that enable us to do the difficult work of building a better world together #MutualAid #COVID19

We have to reject the narrative that ‘everything will be fine once the biological threat it is over’.

We have to organize around long-term political visions that reject business as usual.

"I believe there’s a duty for each of us to be diligent witnesses when suffering is so deep and widespread as it is today. To see clearly what’s happening all around us with eyes unvarnished by this or that metaphor," writes @Gorenflo. #COVID19 #pandemic https://t.co/rK0kkRLOhO

Thank you @02025Amsterdam for Sharing your experience of running’Donut Fridays': a weekly school session for kids learning about the Doughnut & their city's plans for energy transition. Loved that kids, schools & neighbourhoods are involved. #DoughnutEconomics #FridaysForFuture

[Hope in the Margins @HopeITM]

@pmfxoxo It seems he does. I think he said he was going to work on forwarding his ideas including basic income.

This is a great thread outlining the key ideas put forward by Dutch academics for a #degrowth future

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

This is remarkable: 170 Dutch academics put together a 5-point manifesto for economic change after the C19 crisis, building on #degrowth principles. It has gone viral in Dutch media. In this thread I'll summarize the points in English. https://t.co/jjiJ2nVRW5

[Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) @DoughnutEcon]

#DoughnutEconomics is a book full of ideas for 21st century economies, but now it's time for action.

That's why we're creating Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL): a collaborative platform for changemakers to connect, share, inspire and get inspired.

@jaCattell Gov is committed to an economic model that is extractive & favours the worst practices, eg low pay, tax avoidance, privatisation, low tax, no environmental & worker protection etc. So, what are you REALLY interested in, that fits into gov ideology?

@NoraBateson Nora what questions or conversations do you think would help us to let go of the luxury brands and welcome care, for each other, nature, future generations and non-humans?
