Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries monitors a world out of balance. Nature.

A reimagined doughnut economics framework shows that over the past two decades, progress in meeting people’s basic needs has been slow, while environmental pressures continue to rise. The richest countries are responsible for over 40% of environmental impacts, while the poorest face more than 60% of social shortfalls, emphasizing the need for equitable economies that care for people and planet.
