Description

Do improving wellbeing and sustainability goals conflict with one another? This Routledge publication explores the complex relationship between these two central aims of modern government. By focusing on the use of indicators, the book reviews how public policy is shaped and the implications of these measurement tools. The text examines the tensions between different constructs of wellbeing and sustainable development. It also addresses the friction between current individual and societal notions of wellbeing. This book is designed to help readers understand why a simple win-win scenario for both wellbeing and sustainability may not exist as often assumed. For policy makers and students, this work provides a necessary look at the conceptual frameworks required for more transparent discussions. It offers a deep dive into how we measure progress and the challenges of balancing human welfare with long-term environmental and societal sustainability.
