MERGE – measuring what matters: EU and UN policy engagement
A summary of work done to advance the integration of Sustainable and Inclusive Wellbeing as well as Beyond GDP approaches into policy
The report summarises the work done at the EU and UN levels within the MERGE project to advance the integration of Sustainable and Inclusive Wellbeing as well as Beyond GDP approaches into policy.
It outlines the engagement strategy for both the EU and UN levels, offers an overview of the main activities and key takeaways that emerged, and concludes with a summary of cross-cutting insights, challenges, limitations and learnings. The report concludes with broader reflections on the opportunities and challenges of embedding sustainable and inclusive wellbeing indicators into policy.
Building economies that truly deliver wellbeing for all, now and in the future, requires sophisticated policy tools and a holistic way of measuring progress. In this context, MERGE, a Horizon Europe-funded project, aims to connect science and policy to develop indicators and models that can support sustainable and inclusive wellbeing policy processes within multilevel governance.
