Applying the Doughnut Model as Compass to Maximise the Social Economy Contribution to the Twin Transition
The twin transition has become a global priority, especially in light of recent events like COVID-19 and Russian military aggression. The social economy can contribute to this transition if unlocked. Our paper explores how the Doughnut theory can be applied to the social economy to maximise the impact on the twin transition. Developed by Kate Raworth, this theory guides sustainable social and economic development. The Doughnut theory and social economy share a focus on social and environmental aspects, as well as democratic principles. It offers a framework for planning actions, addressing challenges, and promoting success.
