Christophe BousquetNew #UN #report on how to measure #EconomicGrowth and hopefully getting rid of #GDP:
Key messages:
- GDP shows what we #produce. It doesn't show what we #value.
- Better #decisions require better #measures. The #BeyondGDP dashboard provides them, and we can start using it now.
- We now have a practical blueprint to measure regularly what truly drives well-being for people and planet.
- Delay in adopting better measures of progress is #NoLongerAnOption. The cost is borne today and by future generations.
High-Level Expert Group on Beyond GDP | United Nations
Going beyond GDP, to accurately measure what is valuable, and to enhance decision-making in the best interests of people, the planet and the future, can fundamentally change the way Governments make policies and spur investments to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the realization of the commitment to leave no one behind.
