Positives

• This short video will give students a perfect introduction to the goals of doughnut economics.
• Visual learners will appreciate the easy-to-understand illustrations.

Additional Prerequisites

• Students should be familiar with the terms GDP, ecological, and biodiversity.
• Because the video is fast-paced, teachers may wish to share the image of the doughnut model with students before showing the video.

Differentiation

• Economics, social studies, or ethics classes could write a reflection paragraph after watching the video and discuss what type of economic mindset would allow the world to stay within the confines of the ecological ceiling and the social foundation.
  
• Science classes could discuss economic decisions that have damaged the natural world. Students could discuss the solutions required to meet the social needs of all people while protecting the Earth's natural resources and biodiversity.
• Other resources on this topic include this video lecture on doughnut economics by Kate Raworth, these presentation slides on doughnut economics, and this interactive resource from the University of Leeds on social well-being and sustainability.
