- This report represents the first steps toward an Oxfordshire re-imagining economics to serve thriving futures – a future where the needs of all citizens are met, where we live within our ecological means, and where the wellbeing of people and future generations, both here at home and beyond our borders, are considered and actioned in decision making. Here we will share Oxfordshire’s preliminary data portrait of place – a data-informed snapshot of where we are now relative to the ‘safe and just space’ of the Doughnut – and consider how Doughnut-informed thinking and tools can play a role in shaping transformative, participatory decision making and strategic economic planning.
