The European Commission, European Parliament, Club of Rome, OECD and WWF hosted a high-level conference last month to clarify the most appropriate indices to measure progress in terms of wealth and wellbeing. Traditionally progress has been measured using the economic indicator Gross Domestic Product. The conference, Beyond GDP, convened 650 participants from 50 countries including representatives from GRI. Deputy Chief Executive of GRI, Teresa Fogelberg, sat on a panel on ‘Key Needs and Ways Forward’ which examined the key opportunities for going beyond GDP. It asked what is feasible in the short to medium term, how can implementation be improved and how to engage policymakers, key institutions, business, media and the broader public.
