The Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) is an initiative founded to bring the principles of Doughnut Economics into practical action. Developed by economist Kate Raworth, Doughnut Economics redefines economic success as achieving a balance between meeting human needs and staying within the planet’s ecological boundaries. DEAL focuses on supporting changemakers across various sectors—communities, education, business, and government—by providing tools, resources, and a collaborative platform to implement these ideas.
