Independent research funded by European Commission (DG RTD)

Our report, developed together with SDSN and the Hot or Cool Institute, and under the expert advice of Sandrine Dixson Decleve, Enrico Giovaninni and Peter Browning, identified three actionable GDP+3 sets of indicators covering social, environmental, and institutional dimensions to complement GDP and to motivate policymakers to adopt policies furthering sustainable prosperity. The results were presented to several DGs in Brussels as well as other policy-makers.
