OECD World Forums on Well-being
Over the last two decades, the OECD World Forums on Well-being, formerly known as the World Forums on "Statistics, Knowledge and Policy" have been pushing forward the boundaries of well-being measurement and policy. By bringing together thousands of leaders, experts and practitioners from around the world, and from policy, statistics, research, business, philanthropy, and civil society, the Forums have helped to spur action across multiple domains, playing a pivotal role in the "Beyond GDP" movement, and building evidence and know-how to put people’s well-being at the heart of measurement, policy and practice.
Join us for the 7th edition of the Forum that will take place on 4-6 November 2024 in Rome. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the OECD World Forums that initiated the international movement on Beyond GDP and organised in the context of the G7 Finance Track of the Presidency of Italy, this edition will look at how the well-being perspective can enhance our understanding of major societal challenges, such as climate change and artificial intelligence, and respond to them. The Forum will also take stock of the progress accomplished on measuring well-being beyond GDP and on integrating well-being metrics and frameworks into policy. This edition of the Forum is being co-organised by the OECD, the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Italian National Institute of Statistics.
