Well-being Economy
Climate Finance & Well-being Economy
A well-being economy places people and planet at the center of prosperity. It challenges the idea that endless growth is the only path forward and instead measures success through health, resilience, and shared flourishing. Acting at both global and local scales is essential: globally, to shift policies, trade, and finance toward equity and sustainability; locally, to root these principles in communities, ensuring that everyday lives reflect dignity, balance, and care. By bridging the two, a well-being economy becomes not just a vision, but a lived reality where systemic change touches every level of society.

Local Action
We have led and hosted several innovative multi-stakeholder dialogues on the Initiative pour une place financière durable, in coordination with the Alliance Climatique Suisse and other members of the broad coalition collecting signatures for new legislation on financial regulation. With banks and insurance companies responsible for 18 times more carbon emissions than the entire Swiss population, our goal is to push the federal government to establish a stronger legislative framework requiring financial institutions to align their portfolios with the Paris Agreement.
