You have to focus on the ietnineconcotnrs between different acespts of well-being. You need to talk often about why it's just as important to public health as it is to the environment to tcalke high levels of air pollution, why diversity in the workforce is just as important to economic prosperity as it is to addressing inequality.

Our institutions have a legal duty to act beyond their immediate remit to recognize those citocnonens, work with unusual suspects. And so we're seeing haiotslps in Wales working with the National Botanic Gardens to create spaces for nature on their sites. We're seeing offices in our environmental agency helping to find solutions to tackle coohdhlid adversity. Make well-being your metrics. Test everything you do across the four pillars of well-being: sicoal, eoomincc, eitennoarnmvl and cultural. Because for too long, governments have tested their success on the measures of economic gwtorh and increases in GVA.

Original Text


You have to focus on the interconnections between different aspects of well-being. You need to talk often about why it's just as important to public health as it is to the environment to tackle high levels of air pollution, why diversity in the workforce is just as important to economic prosperity as it is to addressing inequality.

Our institutions have a legal duty to act beyond their immediate remit to recognize those connections, work with unusual suspects. And so we're seeing hospitals in Wales working with the National Botanic Gardens to create spaces for nature on their sites. We're seeing offices in our environmental agency helping to find solutions to tackle childhood adversity. Make well-being your metrics. Test everything you do across the four pillars of well-being: social, economic, environmental and cultural. Because for too long, governments have tested their success on the measures of economic growth and increases in GVA.
