An Taisce and An Taisce’s Green Campus Programme co-hosted this World Café-style interactive afternoon exploring Doughnut Economic principals through an Irish context.
‘Creating a Flourishing Irish Society: Wellbeing, Sustainability & Doughnut Economics’ took place in The Irish Museum of Modern Art on 3 September 2024. We were delighted to welcome Kate Raworth, the creator of Doughnut Economics, as keynote speaker. This video is a recording of her keynote speech from the event.
We were also privileged to have Dr Tony Holohan, Director of the Centre for One Health as host, lending his expertise in public health, sustainability, and climate leadership to the day’s proceedings. Cathy Baxter, An Taisce's Director of Education and Community Action shared how the inter-relationships between the organisation's programmes and initiatives work together creating space for community engagement and long-term commitment to environmental actions across Irish society.
The afternoon gathering brought together a wide range of participants from different sectors, all eager to explore how Ireland could adopt the principles of Doughnut Economics to build a future prioritising human wellbeing alongside ecological sustainability.
