WEAll’s Policy Design Guide

This guide has been co-created by the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll) to support visionary policy makers, to build more just and sustainable economies for people and planet.

The guide has resources, tools, case studies, and suggestions that can help you to:

Develop a wellbeing vision, framework and measurements.
Design a strategy to foster the areas of economic life most important for our wellbeing
Assess and co-create Wellbeing Economy policies to build a coherent and innovative policy mix.
Successfully implement Wellbeing Economy policies by empowering local stakeholders and communities.
Evaluate policy impacts on wellbeing for learning, adaptation and success.

This is just the first iteration of this guide and it is our hope that in the months and years to come we can continue to build this guide together. Through your experimentation, innovations and learnings we can show the world that a Wellbeing Economy is not only possible but already underway.

Bringing Wellbeing Economy Policy Design to life

Since September 2021, four WEAll hubs in California, Canada, New Zealand and Scotland have been piloting the Wellbeing Economy Policy Design process in partnership with local communities and local government. The pilot phase of their work to transform policymaking is coming to an end – but this is a long-term, complex work that will continue in all four locations.

Throughout the pilot projects, the four teams have been collaborating with the WEAll Global team and our partners at ZOE Institute for Future-fit Economies to document shared and individual learnings. Based on the experiences of the pilots, over 15 new resources and templates have been developed to support others around the world who want to carry out similar projects to transform policymaking in specific locations.

We’re eager to discuss best practices for developing economic strategies that are adaptable, equitable and sustainable for global and local contexts with visionary policy makers across the world.
