. In the first four modules, you’ll find references to some of our favourite resources to introduce the wellbeing economy (Module 1), the evidence base for why this transition is needed (Module 2) and ways to debunk some of the common concerns about a wellbeing economy (Module 4), as well as reading lists at the end of all nine modules.
Hello everyone, a ‘new publications’ alert 
.
Our colleagues at DEAL have just released a new article called “Doughnut Economics in Local Governments: an overview of emerging practice”, which provides a first overview of policy approaches informed by Doughnut Economics in 50 local governments worldwide that have worked with it in their own processes, strategies, and plans. The study provides an overview of geographic spread, main areas of practical application of DE in local governments, key motivations for the work, main challenges encountered, main benefits to date etc. It also provides a list of all the policy documents studied and will hopefully serve as a useful source for researchers and practitioners.
In addition, last week Next Economies (Australia) has launched their new flagship paper The economy we could have: the economy of today, the divides it creates, and the alternatives, written by their Economy Program Director and WEAll co-founder Dr Katherine Trebeck. The Economy We Could Have traces how Australia’s economic story has shifted over the decades, the divides created along the way, and the alternatives already being built. It sets out practical steps for governments, enterprises and communities to move beyond isolated “Lego wins” and embed a wellbeing economy – one that puts dignity, fairness, connection and ecological care at its centre.
