Overcoming our dependence on endless economic growth means moving towards a more resilient, secure and stable society. An alternative economic system that guarantees collective wellbeing for people and the planet and does not rely on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth at all costs is possible and needed.\u00a0 Our current economic model is pushing people and the planet to burn out. It is time for decision-makers to listen to science, reduce the extraction, production and consumption of resources, and focus on other pathways to make our societies thrive.<\/span> From a wellbeing economy to Doughnut Economics, creative visualisations of a better economic system are flourishing all over the world.

\n<\/span>The role of the EEB is to connect emerging evidence supporting new economic models. One example is the LOCOMOTION project<\/a>, where scientists test and explore scenarios to determine the effect of political decisions on our society in the short, medium and long term.<\/span>

\n<\/span>Better economic concepts have been developed and proven to be more successful. For instance, the wellbeing economy monitors and values what matters: our health, nature, education and communities. Doughnut Economics highlights minimum social criteria and maximum ecosystem limits to guide decision makers toward a more equitable and more sustainable system. And it does not stop here: a broad range of useful narratives have emerged from what academics call the degrowth community, the European \u2018beyond growth\u2019 policy scene, as well as the Global South.<\/span><\/p>\nIt is time for the EU to choose a sweeter deal<\/span><\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
