You are very welcome to come to the next meeting hosted by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Wellbeing Economics. The speakers will discuss why Costa Rica scored well across all three component measures used to calculate nef’s Happy Planet Index (HPI): life expectancy, experienced well-being and Ecological Footprint.
