The current economic system has become addicted to growth at all costs. It needs to be fundamentally transformed into a wellbeing economy which aims to achieve wellbeing and fairness, for people and the rest of nature.

This video shares a discussion about building an economy that is better for the wellbeing of people and planet. This is a recording of a webinar which forms part of a free ‘Building Wellbeing Together’ webinar series via the Network of Wellbeing (NOW).
