Podcasts about wellbeing economy

In this episode of Cities 1.5, David and his guests from countries on opposite sides of the equator, South Africa and Scotland, explore how urban initiatives are transforming local communities through holistic climate action and wellbeing practices. Linear economic systems - previously the global status quo - have been proven time and again to be ineffective at prioritizing wellbeing for all…especially when we compare them with circular models that emphasize restoration. Grassroots projects like Scotland's Love Letham and Johannesburg's Makers Valley, which focus on sustainable development, community engagement, and empowerment naturally emphasize the importance of inclusivity, indigenous values, and collective action in addressing socioeconomic and environmental challenges. Our expert guests in this episode demonstrate how in both the Global South and North, participatory decision-making and community-driven projects can tackle poverty, improve health, and enhance urban resilience by integrating climate and anti-poverty policies.Image Credit: Photo by Jeswin Thomas @Unsplash Featured guests:Thobile Chittenden is Network Co-Lead at the Wellbeing Economy Alliance and the CEO of the Makers Valley Partnership in Johannesburg, South Africa.Hollie Irvine is the Project Lead of Love Letham in Perth, Scotland - one of four Wellbeing Economy pilot city projects from the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll).LinksLessons in Wellbeing Economics: Engaging local communities to bring Academic Principles into Urban Practice - Episode 12, Season 3, Cities 1.5 Policy Design for a Wellbeing Economy - Lessons from Four City Pilots - The Journal of City Climate Policy & Economy, Volume 2 Issue 2, January 2024Wellbeing Economy AllianceMakers Valley A New Story Unfolds - Poem by Thobile ChittendenLove Letham Project - Perth, ScotlandOfficial child poverty statistics - Child Poverty Action Group (Scotland)New report shows what Letham's children need to thrive - Love Letham websiteIf you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website: https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/Cities 1.5 is a podcast by University of Toronto Press and is produced in association with the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy.

Complete this sentence: The future of fashion will be…Welcome to Series 10 of Wardrobe Crisis! We're kicking off with a conversation about the future of fashion, recorded live earlier this year when Wear Next came out in the UK.Clare is in conversation Tamara Cincik, Professor of Fashion & Sustainability at Bath Spa University, at the first ever event of the UK's new National Centre for Sustainable Fashion, which is based there. A robust discussion beginning with regenerative fashion, and swooping energetically through slowing down fast fashion and what's the point of fashion week to fibre sovereignty, the creative wellbeing economy, fashion burnout and mental health. We also talk about representation and inclusion, and ask: who gets to make the policy decisions that shape fashion's future?P.S.

How do we recalibrate the metrics of mainstream politics, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) often used to define a nation's “success” — and recenter them on our collective and planetary wellbeing? What could a truly regenerative economy encompass, and what might that mean for our immediate and long-term activism?In this episode, we welcome Amanda Janoo, who feels called to help build just and sustainable economies through goal-oriented and participatory design policies.Join us as Amanda shares about the limitations of mainstream economics; what the “Wellbeing Economy” is all about; how it relates to other models such as circular economy or degrowth economy; and more.Tune in and subscribe to Green Dreamer via any podcast app, and get our show notes at greendreamer.com.

Our podcast, SystemShift, returns for a second season where we look beyond the problems of our economic system and take you on a quest to piece together what a wellbeing economy could look like and how we can get there. We'll delve into the shadows to reveal the myths and disinformation that shroud our understanding of the current failing economic and financial systems that drive the exploitation of people and the planet.Ordinary people in many countries are feeling besieged by a multiplicity of crises - including a cost-of-living crisis that has many of them focusing on their immediate needs, leaving them with reduced mental space to grapple with long-term existential threats such as climate change. It's this entanglement of survival and need for foresight that can leave many people feeling paralysed—overwhelmed by the juxtaposition of today's struggles and the looming environmental catastrophe.The second season will be released on Friday, February 2nd, with a new episode coming out on a weekly basis.SystemShift comes from Greenpeace Nordic and is hosted by Greenpeace Sweden campaigner, Carl Schlyter, and produced by Alexia Fridén, with additional support from Zane Ford, Christian Aslund and Attila Kulcsár. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Featuring: Naomi Robert  In this episode of Handpicked: Stories from the Field, we speak with Naomi Robert, a Research & Extension Associate at the Institute for Sustainable Food Systems at Kwantlen Polytechnique University and a PhD candidate at Simon Fraser University on her new project called “Beyond GDP: Lessons for Redefining Progress in Canadian Food System Policy”. Naomi discusses the problematic history of GDP as a measure of well-being in our country and how we can move towards measures that more accurately depict the well-being of Canadians.     Contributors  Co-Producers & Hosts: Laine Young & Amanda Di Battista  Producer: Charlie Spring Sound Design & Editing: Narayan Subramoniam     Guests Naomi Robert   Support & FundingWilfrid Laurier University The Laurier Centre for Sustainable Food Systems Balsillie School for International Affairs   Music Credits Keenan Reimer-Watts   Resources  Moving Beyond Acknowledgments- LSPIRG Whose Land Laurier Centre for Sustainable Food Systems Kwantlen Polytechnique University Institute for Sustainable Food Systems  Simon Fraser University – Food Systems Lab  Genuine Progress Indicator  Canadian Index of Wellbeing  Quality of Life Framework for Canada  Wellbeing Economy Alliance  Stiglitz Commission  Community Resources & Applications of Doughnut Economics    Articles, Podcasts & Essays  Podcast: Kate Raworth: “The Superorganism V.

Each supply chain involves a variety of stakeholders from farmers, processors, distributors, retailers and consumers that operate at local, provincial, national and even international levels”  https://www.ivey.uwo.ca/sustainability/for-researchers/the-agri-food-system/#:~:text=The%20agri%2Dfood%20system%20spans,national%20and%20even%20international%20levels.    Doughnut Economics  “Doughnut Economics proposes an economic mindset that's fit for our times. It's not a set of policies and institutions, but rather a way of thinking to bring about the regenerative and distributive dynamics that this century calls for. Drawing on insights from diverse schools of economic thought - including ecological, feminist, institutional, behavioural and complexity economics - it sets out seven ways to think like a 21st century economist in order to transform economies, local to global.  The starting point of Doughnut Economics is to change the goal from endless GDP growth to thriving in the Doughnut. At the same time, see the big picture by recognising that the economy is embedded within, and dependent upon, society and the living world.”  https://doughnuteconomics.org/about-doughnut-economics    Economic Growth  “An economy grows when it has the capacity to produce more. Production is based on how much capital, labor, natural resources, and technology it has to produce. Policies that encourage the accumulation of any of these leads to economic growth.”  https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain/ap-macroeconomics/ap-long-run-consequences-of-stabilization-policies/economic-growth/a/lesson-summary-economic-growth    Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI)   “Described by its authors, the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) provides citizens and policymakers fruitful insight by recognizing economic activity that diminishes both natural and social capital. Further, the GPI is designed to measure sustainable economic welfare rather than economic activity alone. To accomplish this, the GPI uses three simple underlying principles for its methodology:  account for income inequality,  include non-market benefits that are not included in Gross Domestic Product, and  identify and deduct bads such as environmental degradation, human health effects, and loss of leisure time.  The GPI developers identified 26 indicators, then populate them with verifiable data. As one example, the pure economic activity stemming from the explosive growth of urban sprawl contributes greatly to the GDP. Yet, along with sprawl come non-economic costs such as increased commuting time, increased traffic congestion, land use conversion, and automobile impacts. In short, just because we are exchanging money within an economy does not necessarily mean that we are sustainable or prosperous.”  https://dnr.maryland.gov/mdgpi/Pages/what-is-the-GPI.aspx    Gross Domestic Product (GDP) “GDP measures the monetary value of final goods and services—that is, those that are bought by the final user—produced in a country in a given period of time (say a quarter or a year). It counts all of the output generated within the borders of a country. GDP is composed of goods and services produced for sale in the market and also includes some nonmarket production, such as defense or education services provided by the government.”  https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/fandd/issues/Series/Back-to-Basics/gross-domestic-product-GDP    Migrant Labour Issues  “Shifts in demographic and economic patterns are pushing workers to cross borders for jobs in ever increasing numbers. Migrants often leave their home communities due to extreme poverty and face exploitation as they search for work in unfamiliar terrain. They are commonly subject to subcontracting schemes and precarious jobs in the informal economy. They make vital economic contributions to both their host countries and countries of origin, but confront a dire lack of workplace protection and social security.”  https://laborrights.org/issues/migrant-labor    Planetary Boundaries  “The planetary boundaries concept presents a set of nine planetary boundaries within which humanity can continue to develop and thrive for generations to come.   Crossing boundaries increases the risk of generating large-scale abrupt or irreversible environmental changes. Drastic changes will not necessarily happen overnight, but together the boundaries mark a critical threshold for increasing risks to people and the ecosystems we are part of.  Boundaries are interrelated processes within the complex biophysical Earth system. This means that a global focus on climate change alone is not sufficient for increased sustainability. Instead, understanding the interplay of boundaries, especially climate, and loss of biodiversity, is key in science and practice.”  https://www.stockholmresilience.org/research/planetary-boundaries/the-nine-planetary-boundaries.html    Canada's Quality of Life Framework  “The Quality of Life Framework for Canada brings together data for approximately 85 key indicators on the well-being of people in Canada. The Framework enables the federal government to identify future policy priorities and to build on previous actions to improve evidence-based decision making and budgeting.  “The Quality of Life Framework for Canada is organized into domains, each of which includes a number of indicators, as shown on the Quality of Life Framework for Canada infosheet. These domains were selected based on evidence of the determinants of well-being to reflect what matters most for quality of life in Canada: prosperity, health, society, the environment and good governance. In addition, the indicators of life satisfaction and sense of meaning and purpose are included as overall measures of quality of life.”  https://www160.statcan.gc.ca/index-eng.htm     Well-Being Economy  “A Wellbeing Economy is an economy designed to serve people and the planet, not the other way around. Rather than treating economic growth as an end in and of itself and pursuing it at all costs, a Wellbeing Economy puts our human and planetary needs at the centre of its activities, ensuring that these needs are all equally met, by default”  https://weall.org/what-is-wellbeing-economy    Discussion Questions  An increase in GDP is often assumed to be positive for society overall. Does this episode change your assumptions about growth?    Naomi shared some of the limitations of using GDP as a measure of well-being in the episode. What are some other examples of these types of limitations? What does GDP overlook?   How might alternatives like the “Canadian Index of Wellbeing” and “A Quality of Life Framework for Canada” help address some of the shortcomings of pursuing economic growth at all costs?    Can you imagine how your local food system might look differently if we used quality of life indicators (like public and environmental health impacts) as the primary motivators for food production and distribution?   In many ways, our current economic system forces governments to pursue economic growth (sustaining employment, repaying debt, etc.). What changes to our economic system can allow governments to pursue wellbeing over economic growth? Explore the additional resources in the show notes for more information.    

What do we mean by a "wellbeing economy"?  Is it more important to focus on a range of measures including health, happiness and the environment as well as economic growth?  Are Scots ready for this new approach? Economist and Chief Executive of Business for Scotland Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp gave a presentation on the wellbeing economy. He shared the effect this discussion can have on polling including support for Scottish independence.

What happens when we stop treating people and the planet like they're here to serve the economy and start treating the economy like it's here to serve us by putting our fundamental needs for Dignity, Nature, Purpose, Fairness and Participation at the core of its activities? We are joined by Amanda Janoo, Economics and Policy Lead at the Wellbeing Economy Alliance where we unpack the fundamentals behind the Wellbeing Economy. Through clear examples and policy strategies, Janoo illustrates the cultural and metaphysical transformation that can occur within communities when social and ecological wellbeing become our primary goals. We also discuss the work of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance in leading the collaboration of organisations, alliances, movements and individuals working to transform the economic system.

Developing fisheries along wellbeing economy principles is something that Dr Ingrid Kelling, Assistant Professor of Sustainable and Ethical Seafood at Heriot-Watt University's Lyell Centre for Earth and Marine Sciences and Director of the Fair Food Hub, is committed to.In a new episode of The Scotsman's Sustainable Scotland podcast, in partnership with Heriot-Watt University's Lyell Centre, a global research institute, Dr Kelling explains the concept of a wellbeing economy and how it impacts fisheries.

In this episode, Dr Katherine Trebeck takes listeners into a deep conversation asking why our economy is not serving enough people and takes a hard look at the way our economic system operates through a public health lens. Katherine is a political economist, founder of the Wellbeing Economic Alliance, and describes herself as a freelance advocate for a more humane economy. Katherine casts a net of ideas around the distribution, or maldistribution, of wealth, resources, and power and how this impacts individuals, communities, and the planet, with a profound impact on health inequalities. Despite these flaws, there are opportunities for connection across areas that have traditionally been siloed and a move toward a wellbeing approach, one designed to deliver what people and the planet need. For example, improved levels of exercise and mental health have connections with improved liveability and public transport, and these arenas have co-benefits for us as humans living in the environment, so co-benefits for the environment as well. With a fascination for understanding the root causes of complex issues, Katherine compels audiences to look upstream and stay curious and attentive to the connections. She recommends channeling your inner three-year-old, asking but why, but why, why, and why, until we can get to the root cause, venturing beyond symptom-by-symptom, problem-by-problem, and crisis-to-crisis solutions.

David Somekh of the EHFF and Caroline interviewed Laura Rayner, who is a policy analyst at the European Policy Centre in Brussels. Laura is currently working on the Wellbeing Economy Policy Lab, which is a crosscutting work programme to analyse how the EU can develop and implement policies leading to a more equitable, socially inclusive and regenerative economy. The Lab's objectives are to help build a political consensus for a wellbeing economy, and to formulate wellbeing-oriented policy recommendations through multi-disciplinary dialogues and analyses.

Ideen om å supplere eller bytte ut de konvensjonelle målene på økonomisk suksess med indikatorer på livskvalitet - en "wellbeing economy" - vinner terreng internasjonalt, og nå også i de nordiske landene. I denne episoden snakker vi med Michael Birkjær fra det danske Institutt for lykkeforskning om hvordan man kan måle og operasjonalisere livskvalitet, og med Vigdis Holm fra nettverket Sunne kommuner om hvordan dette kan være interessant for norske kommuner. Vi hører også fra Doreen Grove, som har en dobbel funksjon som leder for Wellbeing Economy Alliance i Skottland og dessuten leder for den skotske regjeringens engasjement i det internasjonale Open Government Partnership. Hun snakker om hvordan regjeringen i Skottland arbeider med trivselsøkonomi og med å demokratisere økonomi og beslutningsprosesser.Du kan høre mer om trivselsøkonomi i episode #15, og om hvordan dette henger sammen med lokal utvikling i episode #30.

Research is being done globally into into the idea of a wellbeing economy, starting with a wellbeing budget, and the concept is already being trialled.

The current fashion system puts profits above people and the planet. But what if we could flip this on its head and get fashion to actually put human and ecological health first? Well, that's exactly what a wellbeing economy for fashion could do — otherwise known as a "Wellbeing Wardrobe". Commissioned by the European Environmental Bureau, Wellbeing Wardrobe is an in-depth report that identified ways that fashion could participate effectively in a post-growth future to work in the interest of the common good.In this episode, you'll hear from three members of the research team at the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney:Dr. Samantha Sharpe: Associate Professor and Research DirectorDr. Monique Retamal:  Program Lead for Resource Stewardship, andDr. Taylor Brydges: Research PrincipalHit play and find out how we can all participate in this change and what a healthier future for fashion could look like.  ***This episode was brought to you by Green Eco Dream, a sustainably-minded marketplace with eco-conscious alternatives for your health, home, beauty, and on-the-go needs.Check out Green Eco Dream's collection of low waste, low impact clothing care essentials.*** FULL SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPT:https://www.consciouslifeandstyle.com/wellbeing-wardrobe LINKS MENTIONED:Wellbeing Wardrobe: A wellbeing economy for the fashion and textile sectorPost Growth Institute EPISODES MENTIONED:EP.11 Fashion Activism: It's Time for Brands to #PayUp with Ayesha BarenblatEP.20 How We Can Make Mending Mainstream with Josephine Philips of SojoEP.45 Are Better Brand-Supplier Relationships The Missing Link to Ethical Fashion? CONNECT WITH ELIZABETH & CONSCIOUS STYLE:WebsiteInstagramPinterest SUBSCRIBE TO THE CONSCIOUS EDIThttps://www.consciouslifeandstyle.com/edit 

We were delighted to be joined by CEO of Remarkable, Bonnie Clark, as she chatted to us about what it means to create a wellbeing economy so that we as organisations and countries can be fit for the future. In our interview Bonnie speaks about how, according to the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll) Scotland, a wellbeing economy is one designed to provide all of us with good lives while protecting the health of our natural environment. As Bonnie also highlights in her recent article on how Scotland can transform its economy so its fit for the future “Measuring businesses according to profit and productivity alone can easily justify extractive relationships with workers and natural resources. The goal of prosperity can encourage healthier businesses that consider their connection to their staff and wider operating environment. Tune in now to find out more about what a wellbeing economy is and how business leaders, like you, can create one to support both your organisation, people and the planet. “Growth in GDP should not be pursued at any and all cost … The goal of economic policy should be collective well-being: how happy and healthy a population is, not just how wealthy a population is.” – Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland   Links https://themindsolution.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/saramaude/ Contact us at info@themindsolution.com

What does Natural Prosperity look like? In this lecture we envision a new, more equitable future where wellbeing and nature-based solutions take the place of growth at any cost. Growth has almost vanished in industrialised countries since the global financial crisis of 2008. By breaking free from growth, a new economy based on natural prosperity can contribute to our survival and success in future.A lecture by Jacqueline McGladeThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/natural-prosperityGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

The Wellbeing Economy Alliance believes that humanity should determine economics, not the other way around. In this episode, Jimmy Paul, Director at the Wellbeing Economy Alliance in Scotland - speaks of their work with partners to drive change by co-creating, testing & lobbying for alternative policies, practices & models, and will look to identify the cross-sectoral opportunities for fundamental systems change. Jimmy has worked in a range of leadership roles across health & social care for nearly ten years. He is particularly passionate about a ‘nothing about us without us' approach to participation and the creative, meaningful involvement of communities who would benefit most from change.”

In this lecture we are going to look at how the supply chains in a wellbeing economy bring together local production of food and stewardship of nature. This approach, already followed by many indigenous peoples, has the potential to radically reshape supply chains across the world. Using examples from all around the world, the lecture will explore how placing nature's value at the centre of production creates greater equality as well as resilience in the global food system.A lecture by Jacqueline McGladeThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/supply-wellbeingGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

What will the characteristics of successful innovators and entrepreneurs be in a wellbeing economy? In this lecture, we look at how the Wellbeing Economy is shaped by the co-creation of value through co-design and co-production processes, and how this promises to make success look very different from what we've been used to. This lecture will challenge what success looks like and give examples from Kenya, Grenada, London and Lebanon.A lecture by Jacqueline McGladeThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/innovators-wellbeingGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

-- FUTURE NOW RADIO -- We had a super delightful talk full of deep sharing with ISABEL NUESSE from WE-ALL ECONOMY, A global collaboration of organisations, alliances, movements and individuals- working together to change the economic system. Isabel shared about her kind of humor and sarcasm, what the WellBeing Economy means through her eyes, silos in the current systems and need of more inter-connectivity, why she follows her calling, the opportunities and obstacles in our global crisis, the 5 stages of grief, our values, how she keeps balance in her life, guilt and self love, her challenges, forgiveness, the BIG question: how do we organize our planet best for everyone to flourish?, feelings on hypocrisy, sentiment among change-makers, and how we can support her project and each other.

In this FEPS talk episode Katherine Trebeck, co-founder of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance, and Andreas Dimmelmeier, Policy Analyst on Climate and Environment, introduce and debate about the concept of a Wellbeing economy. Trebeck outlines what a wellbeing economy means for people, businesses and governments and how it differs from existing views on "the economy".

One of my favorite examples towards a Wellbeing Economy is Wales. Because they not only developed seven wellbeing goals, but they really thought a lot about how does this translate into a different form of governance and way of working? So they have these five principles for how they want to work together. And one is taking a long-term perspective? So not just constantly thinking about the short-term crises, but really the long term goals. Focusing on prevention? So as we were saying earlier, how do we prevent the economic, or environmental, or social crises from starting in the first place? By getting the economy to do more of the heavy lifting in the first place. How do we support greater integration, breaking down silos, and supporting more collaboration. Not only across governments agencies, but with society at large. And fostering and supporting greater engagement by people.And with these principles in mind, they realized that that needed to also translate into how they were measuring their wellbeing goals. So I love that they put a big emphasis here on effective communication. So they wanted to make sure that any indicator that was chosen could be immediately grasped the public. That they could intuitively understand why that indicator related to one of the goals or multiple goals that they have identified is important for their society.(...) “The world needs new lenses to understand growth and how humans and societies can thrive.” ~ Luis Gallardo Follow the World Happiness Foundation and the World Happiness Fest here:Website: https://worldhappiness.foundation/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/worldhappinessfoundation/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/worldhappinessfestLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/worldhappiness-foundation/Twitter: https://twitter.com/worldhappinessfYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8CGp4Y7TyGKKrT35fkXg5A

What kind of politician would want to give every adult $100,000? From employment to housing to banking, Anne & Kev chat with Steve Keen about the sort of policies a progressive economist turned political candidate, might want to implement.Heterodox professor of economics, Steve Keen, recently made waves when he announced he will be running as a senate candidate with TNL party in the next federal election. Steve is an outspoken critic of mainstream economics, with his 2001, 2011 book, "Debunking Economics" and recent "The New Economics: A Manifesto".Show notesSteve Keen, crowd-funded economisthttps://www.patreon.com/ProfSteveKeenSteve Keen's own podcasthttps://debunking.podbean.com/More about TNLhttps://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/mainstream-media-no-friend-to-the-new-liberals,15564CreditsTheme music:One in Ten by UB40When Aliens Come Down from Marsby The Whizzieshttps://freemusicarchive.org/music/The_Whizzies/The_Whizzies/kzz016_-_the_whizzies_-_07_-_when_aliens_come_down_from_marsorangefreesounds.comSound effects permitted for non-commercial use under license“Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0)”

The climate pact achieved at COP26 was woefully inadequate. We could be in for over four degrees Fahrenheit of warming this century over pre-industrial temperatures, and some scenarios would put us closer to eight degrees. In this episode, Paul Sutton shares his observations from Glasgow, and we get assessments from a few other noted experts. Policymakers are not willing to embrace any climate actions that give up economic growth, but economic growth virtually guarantees climate disaster. The bottom line: only drastic policy and behavior changes will avoid a very bleak future. Sutton is a Professor in the Department of Geography & the Environment at the University of Denver. He served as an official delegate for the American Association of Geographers (AAG) at the COP26 UN Climate Summit in Glasgow in early November of 2021. He is not speaking for the AAG in this episode. One interesting class Paul teaches is Envisioning Utopia Through the Lens of a Wellbeing Economy.

One piece of advice? "Just do it."Meet Ally. He's got a lot of time for meaningful workplace benefits - less so for Advisors. Ally's the founder of Juno - a business at the vanguard of the wellbeing economy, with the goal of changing how people interact with their employers. An entrepreneur simply because he had to be, Ally shares with Founded & Grounded the bumpy road to creating a business that now has an international client base, and how personal experience has led him to question the wisdom of others and urge founders instead to figure things out for themselves.It's a thought-provoking conversation, with plenty for Andrew Parsonage, Ollie Collard and Samantha Miles to discuss - plus we reveal the results of our latest listener poll on your barriers to knowledge and learning.

Wellbeing is something we're all a lot more in tune with today. And there is a growing number of people who support the idea of a well-being economy - one that promotes looking after individuals and the environment. To discuss the (not so new) idea, Ariane Burgess, Green MSP for the Highlands and Islands Region, joins host Drew Hendry MP. Much of today's economic measures are focused on tracking GDP and pursuing a "growth at any cost" model. But, while, of course, GDP is necessary to take into account, it should not be considered the be-all and end-all of how well a country is performing. Bobby Kennedy said in 1968, during his presidential campaign, "GDP measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile". So, the idea of GDP not being the sole measure of a national economy is hardly a new one. Schemes such as a 4-day working week are proposed in Scotland. With the most obvious of advantages being an increase in individuals' wellbeing, we also see economic benefits too. So, it's a win-win. People are more productive when they are happier and looked after. A wellbeing economy is not just for people though. The philosophy also encompasses green initiatives. A thriving natural environment promotes sustainable economic growth as well as increased happiness in citizens. Listen to all of the above and much more on this fascinating episode of Scotland's Choice. For more of Ariane's work, click here. Listen to other Scotland's Choice episodes here.

COP26 is going on just up the road in Glasgow and the Scottish weather has turned cold and rainy. I felt a need for something nourishing this week and figured that you might too, so I asked Australian storyteller Megan Ward to share a story of nature connection and healing with us. Megan recently told this story live and in person at the New Economy Network Conference--Growing a Wellbeing Economy for Australia. Megan writes: "My life has been influenced by a love of nature and a curious mind, with the need to understand and a thirst for knowledge. A scientist, yogini and naturalist, immersing myself in nature and witnessing the interconnectedness through the web of life, I now share the stories we have forgotten."

This podcast includes two interviews/discussions, one with Jakob Hafele of the Zoe Institute for Future-Fit Economies and the other with Lars Münter of the Nordic Health 2030 Coalition. Both of their organisations are members of the global Wellbeing Economy Alliance, but have come to it from different angles. Jakob talks about his work on the EU level to help enable the economy to function independently of economic growth, and his reading of the current situation in the EU and worldwide, while Lars argues that health and environmental advocates need to make more precise use of the language of money along with other measurements, such as environmental and satisfaction indicators, in order to better communicate the potential of their work. Both discussions take place with Caroline Whyte.

Joining the discussion in this episode  are Steven Smith partner at Wright and Wright, architects, and Raf Orlowski director of acoustics at Ramboll, UK, and author of the new book  'Acoustics in Architectural Design'. . Welcome to the second series of the well-being economy podcast. Over the next few episodes, we'll be discussing the future of education and how a better built learning environment can improve the wellbeing of pupils, students, teachers, and support staff.

How can we help human society flourish without destroying nature? The Wellbeing Economy and Natural Capital are linked strategies that can help achieve this. The Wellbeing Economy provides design principles to ensure that our planet serves both humanity and the planet's ecosystems. Natural capital provides design parameters to track the quality and quantity of ecosystems and resources, including the invisible value of nature.A lecture by Jacqueline McGladeThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/planet-firstGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

This week: Women in Public Affairs Scotland talks to Jimmy Paul & Denisha Killoh of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance about what wellbeing economics are, why they matter, what people in public affairs can do to influence decision makers and what a wellbeing economy looks like in practice…plus a cat.

Continuing on from episode 3 part 1, part 2 of The Wellbeing Economy, our speakers Kay Killmann, Chris Pyke, Kay Sargeant and Gert Van Doormalen discuss the demand for healthy and comfortable workplaces is growing exponentially and the investor's acceptance of the need for change. 

For the third episode of The Wellbeing Economy, our speakers Kay Sargent, Chris Pyke and Kay Killmann, Gert Van Doormalen return, in a conversation facilitated by Ann Marie Aguilar to discuss why the demand for healthy and comfortable workplaces is growing exponentially and the investor's acceptance of the need for change. 

Follow on from the Wellbeing Economy Alliance webinar. Our Guest host and CEO of WEAll Scotland Jimmy Paul answers your questions with CEO of Remarkable Bonnie Clarke. What is a Wellbeing Economy and how can we deliver it? What can leaders do to ensure our communities benefit and what does it mean for Scotland to be a founding member of the Wellbeing Economy Governments (WEGo) group?

We are grateful to Glasgow North West for sharing their excellent event with Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp discussing the Wellbeing Economy and Winning Indyref 2. #indyref2 #indyliveradio #wellbeing

Our inimitable trio of Kay Sargent, Chris Pyke and Kay Killmann return, in a conversation facilitated by Ann Marie Aguilar, Senior Vice President of EMEA at the International WELL Building Institute. This discussion delves into their opinions regarding the acceleration of the wellbeing economy, the attitudes of the consumer and how we can transform existing buildings and innovate for buildings of the future.

Introducing key authorities and stakeholders for creating healthier and more sustainable environments including Kay Sargent – Senior Principal, Head of Workplace at HOK, Chris Pyke, co-founder of GRESB and Director at Arc Skoru and Kay Killmann, MD of GBCI Europe. A round-table discussion where we debate a return to the workplace, the relationship between the value of real estate investment and the value of occupant wellbeing, as well as exploring what a systems thinking approach should looks like.

This was a truly brilliant conversation that I learned just SO much through and from and I am sure you will do the same. Have you ever thought about what a wellbeing economy could look and feel like? “If I were to describe a wellbeing economy it is the economy of doing stuff rather than buying stuff, it is an economy based on experience rather than stuff” “We dominate the planet because we collaborate, not because we compete. Going back to community is a fundamental pillar of the wellbeing economy” “Community, it's not difficult. It's about an exchange of love really, and caring. To experience that type of community makes us feel at home” “We are the people making these rules (financial market) and we can unmake these rules that do not serve us” Bio: Natasha wears two hats, one as a capital markets regulatory compliance professional with years of experience working in the international financial markets and the other as a pioneer in the Wellbeing Economy. Natasha combines her knowledge of Economic systems and her training in Health and Wellness to lay out her vision of a new society where humans and nature thrive together and smash and grab capitalism is a thing of the past. Natasha is British and currently resides in Toronto Canada where she is a keen gardener, nature lover and promoter of how to live well in an urban environment.

Visste du at to av våre naboland, Island og Finland, er med i den internasjonale paraplyorganisasjonen the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll)? WEAll arbeider for en økonomi som skal være til nytte for folk og for planeten, i steden for omvendt. Norge er ikke med i alliansen, men i 2020 gjennomførte SSB en stor livskvalitetsundersøkelse som kan være et første steg på veien mot en "wellbeing economy". I denne episoden snakker vi med Anders Barstad i SSB om denne undersøkelsen. Vi snakker også med Amanda Janoo fra WEAll om hva vi mener med "wellbeing economy" og hvordan alliansen arbeider. Og hva i all verden skal vi kalle "wellbeing economy" på norsk?

In this episode we are joined by Dr Vikki Barnes – a Clinical Psychology Doctor, happiness and wellbeing consultant, positive psychologist, speaker, author, humanitarian and adventurer. Vikki qualified in 2011 with a Doctorate in Clinical and Community Psychology, following a Masters in Neuropsychology and a BSc in Psychology and Social Studies and then worked in the NHS for over 10 years. In 2018 she worked with Sir Richard Branson in the British Virgin Islands supporting survivors of hurricane Irma. Then in 2019 she founded Positive Wellbeing, a business that focuses on proactive and preventative strategies for forward thinking organisations, enabling them to create long lasting, successful cultures by putting the health of people first. Championing the Wellbeing Economy, Vikki promotes positive leadership and a movement towards a better world, by blending the wellbeing of people with the wellbeing of the planet.

In this Election Special bonus episode, we're bringing you a recording of the online hustings event hosted by the Wellbeing Economy Alliance for Wales. With the Senedd elections less than one month away, here's your opportunity to meet some of the candidates and hear what they have to say about their vision for Wales. In particular, do they really understand what we mean when we talk about a Wellbeing Economy? And are they committed to the 7 Wellbeing Goals of Wales' future generations act? Or do they still believe "economic growth" will solve all of Wales' problems? Listen in to find out! Co-chaired by Youth Climate Ambassadors Ellie Sanders and Caitlyn Williams, and facilitated by Dawn Lyle from 4theRegion, this hustings was organised by the Wellbeing Economy Alliance. We invited the top five parties from January's voting preferences poll: Labour, the Conservatives, Plaid Cymru, the Green Party and Abolish (with Abolish declining the invitation). Jeremy Miles, Labour Calum Davies, Conservative Luke Fletcher, Plaid Cymru Amelia Womack, Green Party Young people from the age of 16+ have the vote in Wales for the first time this year. We hope this discussion helps clarify what Wales' main political parties actually stand for, so you can vote in alignment with your own values in the upcoming Senedd elections. The Wellbeing Economy Alliance for Wales is part of the global Wellbeing Economy Alliance, a movement to promote an economy that serves the wellbeing of humanity within planetary limits, rather that the pursuit of 'growth' and 'productivity' at any cost. To find out more, join our monthly online meetings via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/138789000637

Young people aged 16+ will be able to vote in Wales for the first time in the Senedd Elections this year. So we spoke to young people from across Wales about politics, what's important to them, and what they value most. We heard from a passionate and inspiring group of young people from a range of backgrounds, who shared their own opinions and talked about what they're already doing to make a difference - especially on climate and equalities. This will be essential listening for anyone that's interested in how to engage more young people in politics, and in how we can build a Wellbeing Economy here in Wales.

Here is Episode Nine. Our question this time was slightly adapted from one sent in by subscriber Pamela Barnes. As the world attempts to claw its way back from the COVID19 pandemic, and as opinion polls show an overwhelming support for not ‘going back' to how things were before, people are increasingly discussing and exploring new models for an economy that better needs the needs of the population as a whole. One of those key ideas is that of a Wellbeing Economy, an economy that delivers both human and ecological wellbeing.   Please consider supporting the podcast by visiting www.patreon.com/fromwhatiftowhatnext and becoming a patron.

Episode #52: Katherine Trebeck Katherine Trebeck is one of the co-founders of the international Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEALL) and his headquartered in Glasgow Scotland. https://wellbeingeconomy.org/ Katherine and I discuss the opportunities for building new economies of well-being around the world whether in her home in Scotland, Canada, New Zealand, Iceland and now Amsterdam. The Covid-19 situation has challenged every nation to consider an alternative economic system that focuses more on building back better where better is defined more in terms of improving the conditions of well-being for all rather than purely maximizing GDP or economic growth. Katherine is the Policy and Knowledge lead at the Wellbeing Economy Alliance, which works to amplify the work of others in the movement for a wellbeing economy. Her book The Economics of Arrival co-authored with Jeremy Williams, explores a new mantra for development that shifts attention from growth to quality and distribution of economic activity as we seek to 'make ourselves at home' in a wealthy world. Before her current role, Katherine was Policy and Advocacy Manager for Oxfam's UK Programme, and prior to this, she led research and policy for Oxfam's Scotland office. Here she developed Oxfam's Humankind Index, a measure of Scotland's real prosperity developed through wide-ranging community consultation. She has been a Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow where her work included analysis of community development, corporate social responsibility and social housing. Katherine has a PhD in political science from The Australian National University, where her thesis considered techniques utilised by Aboriginal communities to compel mining companies to recognise and respond to community demands. She is an Honorary Professor at the University of the West of Scotland, Senior Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Strathclyde. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mark-anielski/message

This special extra to episode #048 features Katherine Trebeck, Mike Salvaris & Carol Innes, in live conversation with a full room at The Platform in Perth last month, launching Katherine's new book ‘The Economics of Arrival: Ideas for a grown up economy'. We pick up the conversation on the topic of power, before opening up to a brilliant dialogue with the audience, and a series of resounding closing sentiments from each speaker. We explore the Wellbeing Economy Governments alliance, some extraordinary outcomes from the work Carol has been involved in, and a host of other positive developments around the world. The questions are asked, how can a more widespread transition to wellbeing economies take place? To what extent are people just going ahead and doing it? What part might a universal basic income play? What about debt and money more broadly? And how do we go about democratic reinvention, both within our institutions, and in how we engage with each other in daily life? Title slide pic: Anthony James.

Featuring UK-based Dr Katherine Trebeck, a central figure in the global Wellbeing Economy Alliance, and co-author of the new book ‘The Economics of Arrival: Ideas for a grown up economy'. With special guests Mike Salvaris, director of the Australian National Development Index, and global leader in the development of wellbeing measures; and Carol Innes, local Whadjak Noongar Traditional Owner and co-chair of Reconciliation WA, successfully engaging in shifting economic development frameworks locally. All in conversation with Anthony James. Recorded live in conversation with a full room at The Platform in Perth, a few days after the global climate strike and as the UN Climate Action Summit began. This event launched Katherine's book, as part of a national tour around Australia in collaboration with the New Economy Network Australia. While everyday economics has assumed all growth is good, the richest countries already have plenty of wealth and resources — they have ‘arrived'. The Economics of Arrival urges us to move from enlarging the economy to improving it, exploring the benefits this could bring for all, and how it can be done. Importantly in this context, Aboriginal people in this country might well ask when they'll have the opportunity to ‘arrive'. And with all we continue to learn about the sophistication of Aboriginal culture in Australia throughout millennia, what other narratives of ‘progress' and development are available for us to share in? Hot on the heels of the Wellbeing Budget in New Zealand, just the latest in a raft of key developments around the world, we explore how we change systems, stories and measures, to transition to an economy geared towards shared quality of life, rather than sheer quantity of stuff. 'The Economics of Arrival: Ideas for a grown up economy' is the new book by Katherine Trebeck and Jeremy Williams, with a foreword by Kate Raworth (best-selling author of 'Doughnut Economics: 7 ways to think like a 21st century economist).

Economic growth is stagnating, hitting up against a range of limits. Last week's news that GDP growth in Australia is at its lowest since the GFC, with interest rates already at an unprecedented low of 1% (they are negative in many places around the world), emphasises what is increasingly apparent to people around the world – the old model isn't working, and it's not coming back. So what's the future of the growth-based system, and how do we transition to a new model of work, business and economics, while avoiding collapse? Around 300 people filled the Greenhouse in Melbourne, Australia, at the 2016 National Sustainable Living Festival, with a highly credentialed panel exploring these questions. While the conversation took place a few years ago, its relevance and importance only seem to heighten. You'll hear from: - Jan Owen AM, CEO of the Foundation for Young Australians, the Inaugural Australian Financial Review/Westpac Woman of Influence 2012, and former director for the Australian National Development Index (ANDI). - Miriam Lyons, a campaigns director for the prominent progressive advocacy network GetUp!, co-author of Governomics, and previously the founding CEO of the Centre for Policy Development. - Ian Dunlop, formerly an international oil, gas and coal industry executive, chairman of the Australian Coal Association and CEO of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. He is a director of Australia21 and a Member of the Club of Rome. Each panellist speaks for 10 minutes, leading off with a little story on how they came to do what they do. Then we're into another powerful Q&A with the capacity audience (featuring in a special extra to this podcast). In the words of Ross Gittins, celebrated economics writer and Economics Editor at the Sydney Morning Herald: "The beginning of economic wisdom is to understand that the advanced economies – including ours – have stopped working the way they used to and won't be returning to the old normal." So what is the future of the growth-based economic system? Especially in the context of planetary limits, resource constraints, rising inequality, increased automation, increasing mental illness, and worsening extinction and climate crises. What's an economy even for? And how can we recreate it for the better, and quickly?

Episode 20 of the Common Weal Policy PodcastYou can download this episode directly here.This week, Head of Policy & Research Dr Craig Dalzell and Campaigns Officer Jonathon Shafi discuss the annual GERS report.They discuss what the report is (and what it isn't) and what it says about Scotland's finances (along with what it doesn't say).Particular highlights from the report are the encouraging signs of strengthening in the Scottish economy and the reduction of  the notional deficit but weaknesses discussed include the widening gap between London and the South East versus virtually everywhere else in the UK (including Scotland).They look at the differences in budgeting for a country compared to a region within one and they also discuss where the debate around GERS should go from here in light of calls to develop a Wellbeing Economy and to tackle the urgent issues of the "climate emergency".Common Weal's work is only possible thanks to our generous supporters who regularly donate an average of £10 per month.

As a TrueGrowth Coach and Purpose Junkie (technically strategist) I'm done for settling for less. Things that don't capture us, bring us to live and press the thrive button. Then I met the #WellbeingEconomy and #ohboy did the world click into place (and seriously step up the only game worth being in business for). Almost 1 year later than being involved in The Wellbeing Economy Festival - seeds around the world have taken sprout. And living what you lead becomes the only company memo we need to keep.

Last month saw the 10th anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse that triggered the GFC. It was a fitting occasion to launch a new global alliance on the streets of New York City - the Wellbeing Economy Alliance, poetically abbreviated to WEAll. The Alliance has come about through a collaboration of some of the most influential and inspiring figures in this space. One of them is Dr Katherine Trebeck, the Alliance's Research Director. She's also an author, with her new book out next year, ‘The Economics of Arrival: Ideas for a grown-up economy'. WEAll is set up to help bring about the transformation of the economic system, society and its institutions, so that we prioritise shared wellbeing on a healthy planet. How will it do that? How did it come about? Who's involved so far, and how do more of us join in? Katherine talks with Anthony about all this, along with some key developments like the new Wellbeing Economy Governments coalition being launched at the OECD's Wellbeing Forum next month, and some of her instructive personal journey into the very heart of how we organise ourselves.
