Wider visibility of synergies and trade-offs
Applying a well-being lens to climate change mitigation :
Systematically addressing a wide range of synergies and trade-offs between mitigation and well-being goals.
Rethinking societal goals, prioritising improvements in people’s well-being that include but go beyond traditional economic activity indicators such as GDP.
Applying a well-being lens to climate change mitigation :
Systematically addressing a wide range of synergies and trade-offs between mitigation and well-being goals.
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.
