New #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. -

A continuing voice of reason in our time. We must move toward the good of the many outweighing the good of the few if we're going to survive as a species.
This, from Antonio Guterres via The Guardian:
...critics argue that endless, indiscriminate growth on a planet with finite resources is driving not only the climate and nature crisis but increasing inequality.
Guterres said: “Moving beyond gross domestic product is about measuring the things that really matter to people and their communities. GDP tells us the cost of everything, and the value of nothing. Our world is not a gigantic corporation. Financial decisions should be based on more than a snapshot of profit and loss.”

📉 **GDP ≠ Wellbeing** 📈
A nation’s health is more than just its **wealth**. Measuring success by GDP alone ignores the struggles of real people.
✅ **How many have a home?**
✅ **How many need food banks?**
✅ **How many can afford healthcare & education?**If an economy is “booming” but homelessness and food insecurity are rising, is it truly success? **Wellbeing must be the real measure of progress.**
It’s time to prioritize **people over profits.** #WellbeingEconomy #BeyondGDP #PeopleFirst

The UN adopted a new framework to integrate natural capital into economic reporting, going beyond GDP. The framework accounts for nature's contribution and impact on the economy and human well-being. The new measure can reshape decision and policy-making towards sustainable development for both people and the environment. #NaturalCapital #BeyondGDP #SEEA https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/09/natural-capital-integrate-economic-policy/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

One of the points @cjcolclough made was about societies having to make decisions about what they value, challenging the notion that productivity is necessarily the ultimate good.
I love this way of thinking (and I’m grateful to folks leading the #BeyondGDP movement)! -

Politicians remain wedded to #growth as the solution to all problems. But that growth has gone. "To all intents and purposes, we're already living in a kind of #postgrowth economy. But we haven't figured out how to make that work."
