About the conference
Launched in 2021, Canada’s Quality of Life Framework aims to place wellbeing at the heart of public decision-making, budgeting, and the measurement of progress, beyond GDP. Five years later, this international conference will take stock of its implementation, examine its limitations and lessons learned, and compare it with other similar initiatives around the world. It will bring together government, academic, and civil society actors to reflect on the next steps toward governance truly grounded in quality of life.
Val Morrison, Scientific Advisor at the NCCHPP, will participate in the panel Interdisciplinary Alignment on Wellbeing Policy, which will address both the opportunity and the challenge of a truly interdisciplinary approach to well-being, at the intersection of economics, psychology, sociology, public health, and public policy.
