The Degrowth Doughnut – visualizing challenges for the 21st century

The doughnut economy is a visual framework for assessing the performance of social metabolism or development goals, shaped like a doughnut or lifebelt. It usually combines the concept of planetary boundaries with the concept of (social) development foundations. The COVID-19 pandemic provides a unique research context for applying the model to a selected group of countries to explore their sustainability performance patterns, along with possible distinctions of their transitional trajectories. For the explorative analysis of the pre-vaccination phase and corresponding post-pandemic projections, a total of seven countries were sampled: Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, and Spain. Whilst even the global pandemic does not simply ‘turn an ocean liner’ of national metabolic throughput and associated prevalent ideology, inroads into effects of emergency on sustainability transformation potential will be analyzed. We will present the resilience and sustainability lessons of the pandemic in the holistic presentation of the (modified) doughnut visualization.
