Periodic Reporting for period 1 - WISER (WISER: Well-being in a Sustainable Economy Revisited)

Período documentado: 2023-10-01 hasta 2024-12-31

Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

The WISER project challenges GDP-centric economic models, supporting a well-being-focused framework that integrates sustainability, inclusiveness, and productivity. It aims to redefine economic development by balancing growth with both social and environmental well-being. The project addresses the lack of comprehensive well-being metrics and seeks to reshape policymaking by offering an alternative approach that enhances quality of life while reducing economic inequality and environmental degradation.

Trabajo realizado desde el comienzo del proyecto hasta el final del período abarcado por el informe y los principales resultados hasta la fecha

• Developed a theoretical framework moving beyond GDP as the main progress indicator.
• Created a well-being database that will be used as input for a dashboard for policymakers with actionable metrics.
• Conducted scenario analyses and predictive modeling to guide sustainable policies.
• Explored links between well-being and productivity, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability.
• Engaged stakeholders through participatory workshops, AI-driven governance tools, and case studies across diverse regions.This study is in its initial stages and and has just recently been granted the ethics clearance and research license. Field survey to commence soon.
