ToBe is a three-year Horizon Europe project led by the University of Tampere that brings together acknowledged scholars on different dimensions of sustainable development and societal change. It aims to build a theoretical and empirical understanding of a sustainable well-being economy by developing integrated policies and transformative indicators.
The project will:
- Study how mindsets, indicators, innovations and policies could better work together towards the sustainability paradigm and what pathways will lead there.
- Bring together green growth and post-growth initiatives to develop a novel understanding of economic growth and incorporate environmental and social justice when conceptualising sustainable well-being.
- Use transformative indicators to build an ecological macroeconomic model to assess integrated policy packages.
The EPC’s Well-being Economy Policy Lab is responsible for co-creating policy recommendations with various stakeholders based on the project’s academic research.
