Measuring what matters: looking beyond GDP

Global concerns such as climate change, resource depletion, inequality, poverty, and health are pressing decision-makers to move away from a narrow focus on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a single metric to measure economic success and citizens’ wellbeing. However, there is a lack of consensus on how to achieve this. Did you miss the live discussion between Commissioner for Economy Paolo Gentiloni and youth representatives from across Europe?
