Rethinking societal goals, prioritising improvements in people’s well-being that include but go beyond traditional economic activity indicators such as GDP.

Climate action meets other important societal goals and does not negatively impact on key dimensions of well-being.

Societal goals are defined in terms of 
well-being outcomes (climate change 
risks and impacts included) and these 
goals are systematically reflected in 
decision-making across the economy;

Decisions are taken keeping multiple 
well-being objectives in mind, rather 
than focused on reaching a single 
(or very narrow range of objective(s) 
independently of others;

The interrelations between the different 
economic sectors and systems in which 
a policy intervenes are sufficiently well 
understood.
