How to measure progress towards a wellbeing economy
The world is experiencing multiple intersecting urgent and existential crises, which have profound and inequitable implications for population health.

A ‘wellbeing economy’, which…

Changing the narrative
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has emerged as a dominant proxy for the success of a nation. At the micro level, a similar monetary orientation is manifest in the development of invidious materialism.

Changing the narrative in our relationship with consumption
This paper introduces two interrelated Open Space articles, Changing the narrative: Measuring progress by measuring what matters to families and Places of prosumption: Community gardens putting the ‘we’ into neighbourhoods .

This paper examines the case of Century Zinc Mine in Queensland's Gulf of Carpentaria where the miner undertook negotiations and reached agreement with local Indigenous communities. I…
