Making our economies fit for the people and the planet (Brussels)
March 4 - 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
About the event:
Geopolitical tensions and inequality between and within countries highlight the urgent need for a socially just transition that leaves no one behind. While the EU has taken significant steps through the EU Green Deal, contradictions persist. Wellbeing is mentioned in EU documents, but a comprehensive plan for making human and planetary wellbeing a priority in decision-making is still missing.
As we strive for an economy that aligns with human needs and planetary boundaries, new economic approaches are emerging across academia, civil society, and institutions. The publication we are launching aims to address this challenge by developing ideas and political proposals to turn the EU’s ambition to “work towards an integrated framework for wellbeing” into action.
Our political brief is the result of a one-year-long exchange within a Knowledge Community of more than 60 experts, mapping key challenges and offering recommendations to guide European institutions in making wellbeing a reality. Join us for the launch event to explore the findings and exchange ideas on pathways forward. View the agenda here.
