DEAR is an advocacy group for people who are concerned about the threat to the ecological balance presented by climate change and environmental degradation, and the threat to the social balance presented by the relentless pursuit of GDP growth. DEAR members are committed to work towards a sustainable ecological and cultural future by putting into action the concept of Doughnut Economics. Our goal is to encourage attitude and behavioural change from a growth-led to a sustainability-led economy through effective communication and education.
