Join in a conversation with brilliant people who are leading the transition to a wellbeing economy that builds sustainable communities.

As we “build back better” from the Covid-19 pandemic, we have an opportunity to build an economy that is inclusive and supports all our communities towards a more sustainable, prosperous, and resilient future.

Scotland is leading the way as a founding member of the Wellbeing Economy Governments (WEGo) group, an initiative where member countries - including Scotland, Iceland, New Zealand, Wales and Finland - are working together to deliver a wellbeing economy for citizens and the environment.

Hear from leading experts in Scotland and around the world on the pursuit of enhanced wellbeing for current and future generations.

This event is free and open to all.

Speakers:

Dr. Lukas Hardt, Policy and Engagement Lead, WEAll Scotland

Dr. Suzy Morrissey, Co-Lead, Aoteraroa New Zealand WEAll Hub

Lewis Ryder-Jones, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Scotland's International Development Alliance; Chair at SDG Network Scotland

This event is part of Scotland's Climate Festival, supporting communities across the country to plan and deliver their own local climate festivals, alongside a national event series. Scotland’s Climate Festival is supported by funding from the Scottish Government.
