Beyond GDP: delivering sustainable and inclusive wellbeing

The ‘Beyond GDP’ initiative aims to develop indicators that are as clear and comparable as GDP but that include environmental, social and well-being aspects of progress.

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.

Morning, all,

Celia Florez, Venezuela's dictator Maduro's wife, was also kidnapped by U.S. armed forces.

Why? Is she, in the view of that notorious misogynist President Donald Tantrump, merely Maduro's chattel?

As #FLOTUS, Melania Trump should be worried; when the U.S. military finally rises against #DOTUS Don Trumpeone, will she also be arrested and join him in the dock?
