Welcome! We are a collective of ‘Devon Doughnut Makers’ on a mission to co-create a first iteration of a Devon Doughnut. We are asking, “Could a dashboard help to provide a picture of how Devon is faring ecologically and economically? Would this be useful to people living and working here? If so, how, and to do what?”
Coffee and Doughnuts is a space dedicated to co-designing a Devon Doughnut. The Doughnut, or Doughnut economics, is a visual framework for sustainable development – shaped like a doughnut or lifebelt – combining the concept of planetary boundaries with the complementary concept of social boundaries.
Series 3 kicks off on Monday 14th with an update of what the Devon Doughnut is looking like these days.
Then we move right into determining the next batch of first-iteration indicators. We have indicators for the domains of Health & Wellbeing, Waterbody Health, Coast & Marine Health, Education and Community.
On Monday–together–let's crack Income & Work, Political Voice, Equity & Equality and Energy. If these domains are of special interest to you please share your experience.
With these indicators under our belt we can plan the next five sessions which will be deeper dives with "significant others", a group of experts from that sector.

What on Earth is the Doughnut?…
Humanity’s 21st century challenge is to meet the needs of all within the means of the planet. In other words, to ensure that no one falls short on life’s essentials (from food and housing to healthcare and political voice), while ensuring that collectively we do not overshoot our pressure on Earth’s life-supporting systems, on which we fundamentally depend – such as a stable climate, fertile soils, and a protective ozone layer. The Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries is a playfully serious approach to framing that challenge, and it acts as a compass for human progress this century.
The environmental ceiling consists of nine planetary boundaries, as set out by Rockstrom et al, beyond which lie unacceptable environmental degradation and potential tipping points in Earth systems. The twelve dimensions of the social foundation are derived from internationally agreed minimum social standards, as identified by the world’s governments in the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. Between social and planetary boundaries lies an environmentally safe and socially just space in which humanity can thrive.
