(Thread) - New Report: we are proud to present ‘A Compass towards 2030’, which tracks progress towards a #resilient and #regenerative well-being #economy. Access it here: zoe-institut.de/en/publication… #COP26 #ClimateCrisis (1/9)

We start from the observation, that the #EU is confronted with a proliferation of dashboards. They provide neither a narrative that is compelling, visually attractive and easy to understand nor a #political summary to monitor developments towards #BeyondGDP (2/9)

We take inspiration from #DoughnutEconomics to close this gap. The Doughnut shows overshoots of planetary boundaries (outer ring) & shortfalls on #social foundations (inner ring). Challenge of the century is to get into green ring: a #safe & just space for #humanity & #EU (3/9)

So far, the Doughnut has already gained high-level support from @MarosSefcovic ( ). Also, an informal @EU_Commission working group on #Doughnut4EU stressed the potential of the concept for monitoring in the #EU: drive.google.com/file/d/1Ibiop8… (4/9)

Based on this, we developed a #BeyondGDP dashboard, a compass for the #EU towards 2030 showing the overshoots/shortfalls on 2030 targets. We also added a layer of indicators highlighting the #regenerative & #resilience capacity of the #economy (interior dough) (5/9)

Indicators included here come from existing dashboards such as #SDGs, the European #SocialPillar, the EU Semester, the Resilience dashboards etc & are reflecting the priorities of key processes such as the #EUGreenDeal & the #8thEAP (6/9)

Targets are based on existing #EU targets complemented by interpolated #science based targets where possible (7/9)

Yesterday we presented the #DOUGHNUT at the @EESC_EU hearing on #BeyondGDP and are looking forward to further exchanges with the #EU Institutions: eesc.europa.eu/en/agenda/our-… (8/9)

Our recommendations for @EU_Commission, @EUCouncil & @Europarl_EN: 1. Summarise key existing indicators in one dashboard ➡️2. Monitor progress with distance-to-targets approach &➡️3. Use #Doughnut framework to visualise how far the #EU & Member States are from 2030 targets (9/9)
