Business for Humanity with Robert Costanza - Well-being Economics!

THERE IS NO DENIAL: CAPITALISM IS IN CRISIS!
Our prevailing economic model, once celebrated as a beacon of liberal enlightenment, now stands accused of complicity in a myriad of societal challenges, resulting in unprecedented ecological and social damage. Deep anxiety permeates society, fuelled by profound concerns about the state of the world and a growing disillusionment with the dominant narrative of progress.
Yet, most people still operate within the implicit acceptance of growth-based consumer capitalism and current policy proposals continue to fall short. Despite the pioneering efforts of many individuals and groups, heterodox perspectives continue to be overlooked by many business schools and leadership development programs.
BUSINESS FOR HUMANITY
That is why we are launching "Business for Humanity" - a series of interactive monthly webcasts dedicated to promoting viable enhancements and alternatives to our economic system.
Our live sessions aim to nurture comparative and integrative discussion, in order to foster deeper understanding and inspire tangible actions. Together with our engaged audience, we'll systematically explore the underlying premises, shed light on practical implications, and unveil the strengths and weaknesses of innovative paradigms. Whether you're a researcher or practitioner, these sessions will promise valuable insights and inspiration for a collective new narrative.
BUSINESS FOR HUMANITY WITH ROBERT COSTANZA
Join us for an enlightening session with Robert Costanza, a trailblazer in Ecological Economics and leading global economist. For over three decades, Robert has bridged traditional economics and ecological science to develop Well-being Economics, a groundbreaking new paradigm that seeks to balance nature’s contributions and human well-being, transcending mere economic growth.
In our exclusive session, we delve into how Well-being Economics promotes sustainable development, ecological restoration, and social and intergenerational fairness. We discover why GDP falls short in measuring sustainable human well-being and explore innovative metrics like the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI). And we learn about new frameworks for assessing nonmarket contributions from natural and social capital, including the concept of ecosystem services, which has been essential for shaping well-being-driven policies across the globe.
