DESCRIPTION:In the wake of Summit of the Future\, and in preparation for t
 he Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4)\, t
 he Beyond Lab and IISD will host a joint intergenerational and multidiscip
 linary workshop to explore how Governments can transition towards more inc
 lusive and sustainable economic systems for the wellbeing of people and pl
 anet. The exchange will look at how policymakers can integrate existing to
 ols and methods to measure progress beyond GDP in an intergenerationally e
 quitable way\, as well as explore how to overcome political\, economic and
  institutional barriers to making a shift towards valuing not only economi
 c\, but also social and environmental wellbeing.  \nEvent Summary\n\nThe
 re is growing international recognition that today’s financial and econo
 mic systems are not equipped to capture the true wellbeing of our societie
 s and ecosystems for a sustainable future for all. The Pact for the Future
 \, adopted at the recent UN Summit of the Future\, highlighted the need to
  redefine prosperity beyond traditional economic indicators like Gross Dom
 estic Product (GDP)\, and redesign our economic systems around social and 
 environmental values\, and towards a regenerative economy. The Fourth Inte
 rnational Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) further presents 
 an opportunity for Governments to commit to reforming the international fi
 nancial architecture for people and planet. \nSo how can governments tran
 sition to new measures that account for comprehensive wealth\, long-term s
 ustainability\, and wellbeing? What are the political\, economic\, and ins
 titutional barriers to making this shift? How can we ensure intergeneratio
 nal equity in the transition beyond GDP?  And how can international colla
 boration support countries in implementing these changes?  \nThe UN Beyon
 d Lab and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) w
 elcomes you to an interactive workshop\, bringing together young people\, 
 policymakers\, researchers\, and thought leaders to unpack these questions
  and help create a roadmap for a transition towards more inclusive and sus
 tainable economies. Building on IISD’s extensive work on comprehensive 
 wealth and the Beyond Lab’s convenings on values-based financing and ret
 hinking economic systems\, this event aims to look at how Governments can 
 shift beyond GDP and adopt new frameworks that reflect economic\, social a
 nd environmental wellbeing.   \n \n\n\nSpeakers \n\nH.E. Matthew Wilson
