Placing Sustainable and Inclusive Wellbeing at the heart of the economy: from research to transformative policy

This document synthesises the core highlights from the final conference of the SPES and ToBe projects, which call for a fundamental paradigm shift in Europe's economic framework. The central thesis is that the current model, fixated on GDP growth, is failing to deliver genuine prosperity and is actively creating societal and ecological crises. The conference established a clear consensus on the need to move "beyond GDP" and reorient economic and political goals toward Sustainable and Inclusive Well - being (SIW).
