Abstract
Join us for an enlightening session with Robert Costanza, a trailblazer in Ecological Economics and leading global economist. For over three decades, Robert has bridged traditional economics and ecological science to develop Well-being Economics, a groundbreaking new paradigm that seeks to balance nature’s contributions and human well-being, transcending mere economic growth.
In our exclusive session, we delve into how Well-being Economics promotes sustainable development, ecological restoration, and social and intergenerational fairness. We discover why GDP falls short in measuring sustainable human well-being and explore innovative metrics like the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI). And we learn about new frameworks for assessing nonmarket contributions from natural and social capital, including the concept of ecosystem services, which has been essential for shaping well-being-driven policies across the globe.
