Evaluating the major contending measures – the Genuine Progress Indicator, Human Development Index, Happiness/life evaluation index, Happy Planet Index, the OECD’s Better Life Initiative dashboard – the paper argues that the GPI is the only indicator that incorporates care for human beings and care for the environment in a single framework and is therefore best suited to guide policy in responding to the major challenges of our time – rising inequality, climate change, environmental destruction.
Nordic Green to Scale 2 analyses the potential of scaling up existing climate solutions in two regions: the Baltic countries, Poland and Ukraine in Europe; and Kenya and Ethiopia in East Africa. This report reflects the study results for the five European target countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and the Ukraine). Ten different solutions have been selected out of those included in the two previous studies as particularly promising for that region. The analysis covers emission reduction potential, costs and savings as well as cobenefits of scaling up the selected solutions.
