How are we doing as individuals, communities and as nations, and how sustainable is that for the future? In this conversation, we discuss the Economy of Well-being that puts people and their wellbeing at the centre of policy and decision-making. We start with Finland – one of the frontrunners of implementing the Economy of Well-being.

This episode is the NDPHS as a EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region PA Health coordinator’s contribution to this year’s forum “Putting Plans into Practice”.
