Designing Policies for a Wellbeing Economy

This platform and its tools have been co-created based on the Policy Design Guide (download below) to support visionary policymakers, like you, to build more just and sustainable economies for people and planet.

There is no-one-size-fits-all approach, as every society has unique structures, values, and objectives. This platform is a starting point from which you can align these policy design processes and ideas to your unique context to build a wellbeing economy, wherever you are.

The Wellbeing Economy Playbook was designed to accompany the stages of this process in a hands-on way. For a physical copy of the Playbook, please contact anja.boenke@zoe-institut.de
