Contributions from leading international and Canadian researchers in the field of beyond-GDP measurement offer a rich range of perspectives on alternative ways to measure well-being and sustainability, along with lessons from around the world on how to bring those metrics into the policy process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey topics include the policy and political impacts of major beyond-GDP measurement initiatives; the most promising possibilities and policy applications for beyond-GDP measurement; key barriers to introducing beyond-GDP metrics; and complementary measures to ensure new measurements are not merely calculated but taken into account in policymaking.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book highlights a distinction between a reformist beyond-GDP vision, which seeks to improve policymaking and quality of life within existing political and economic institutions, and a transformative vision aiming for more fundamental change including a move beyond economic growth. Illustrating the many advances that have occurred in Canada and internationally, \u003ci\u003eTowards Sustainable Well-Being\u003c\/i\u003e proposes next steps for both the reformist and transformative visions, as well as possible common ground between them in the pursuit of sustainable well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003eAnders Hayden, Céofride Gaudet, and Jeffrey Wilson\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart One: Background and Visions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
