Beyond GDP
As we approach the post-SDG era, it's time to rethink how we measure progress. GDP alone cannot capture the full scope of sustainable development. This session at the SDG Media Zone will explore the global shift to go 'Beyond GDP,' focusing on what truly matters: people’s well-being, equality, and the planet. Join thought leaders as they explore how rethinking progress can guide us toward a more inclusive and sustainable future. The session aims to foster a new shared language for development, introduce a broader set of metrics, and increase visibility on these crucial discussions at UNGA79.
Speakers:
- Tshering Tobgay, Prime Minister of Bhutan
- Pedro Conceição, Director of the Human Development Report Office, UNDP
- Sabina Alkire, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative
Moderator: Ana Carbajosa, El País
The SDG Media Zone is organized by the UN Department of Global Communications in collaboration with the PVBLIC Foundation and takes the conversation on advancing the 2030 Agenda out of the policy sphere and into the public discourse through impactful in-depth interviews and conversations on global issues that matter to people everywhere.
