DEAL is excited to announce the publication of the French, German, Portuguese and Spanish translations of the Doughnut Design for Business core tool as well as the accompanying paper. You can access the translations via this folder (available in Google Slides and PDF). You can also access the translations via the core tool page.
What's been translated
The core tool is a complete guide to running a workshop with and within businesses, and sets out how businesses can engage with Doughnut Economics. It focuses on how businesses will need to transform their deep design to enable the regenerative and distributive ideas for helping humanity into the Doughnut. And DEAL’s accompanying What Doughnut Economics Means for Business paper (co-authored with Centre for Economic Transformation, HvA) includes important details on the relevant core concepts with examples from businesses.
