Podsumowanie kontekstu i ogólnych celów projektu

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.
