WEllbeing Economy Models

Around the world, new wellbeing-focused economic models are emerging that move beyond the traditional focus on growth and GDP to place human and planetary wellbeing at the heart of economic systems. These wellbeing-focused approaches seek to align economic activity with ecological sustainability, social justice, and cultural integrity. By addressing interdependence across social, environmental, and economic domains, they aim to create regenerative systems that nurture thriving communities while protecting the planet for future generations. These frameworks recognise that true prosperity is measured not only by material wealth but by the flourishing of people, communities, and the natural world on which all life depends.
