Thanks to our youth essayists, guest speakers & participants for the engaging intergenerational dialogue on getting a youth perspective on measuring what we value. We heard diverse viewpoints & convergence on the need to go beyond GDP & to do so asap.

#YouthMovingBeyondGDP

I was very happy to meet the winners of the global essay contest, organized by SDG Lab at UN Geneva Rethinking Economics & UN Trade and Development to engage youth in the topic of moving beyond GDP. Their ideas & creativity provide new thinking on this key issue that will impact their futures.
