SDG Media Zone at UNGA 79: 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 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
