 We believe that societies that pursue sustainable development will improve the well-being of people and the communities in which they live, for the long-term. This can only be achieved by integrating economic, environmental and social impacts. In 2008 we conducted a survey of people in Scotland to provide a snap shot of people's view of their well-being. We are now looking to repeat the survey to discover how people in Scotland feel in these new circumstances. Follow the hyperlink to the 2010 survey .
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the traditional measure of economic
performance and is used by governments as a proxy of society's
well-being. The credibility of this measure has been seriously
challenged and exposed as inadequate by academics, economists and
non-governmental organisations the world over.It is clear that this measure does not reflect the quality of the life experienced by people, the quality of education, the condition of our environment, the strength of our relationships, the confidence of our population. Take part and you could win an Eco Kettle 1 in our Prize Draw. We will publish the survey results during February on our website and on sustainablescotland.com |
