Iceland to focus on 'well-being' over GDP
By EUobserver
Iceland's prime minister Katrin Jakobsdottir said she will focus on green and family-friendly measures and less on economic growth, the BBC reports. She is joining earlier initiatives from Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon and New Zealand's PM Jacinda Ardern to promote a "well-being" agenda. Following economists like Joseph Stiglitz, she said that environmental disasters are happening because of the world's one-sided focus on GDP growth instead of "inclusive growth".
