Well-being in the Context of Policies for Climate Change
Abstract
This paper explores the challenges of climate change policies, emphasizing their uncertain effectiveness and acceptability. It highlights the need for interdisciplinary approaches that consider economic, social, environmental, and geopolitical consequences. While GNP is useful, well-being measures at individual and community levels are equally important. The paper stresses that policies must be socially equitable, as demonstrated by the "Gilet Jaune" protests in France. Effective climate action requires balancing financial and non-financial factors and addressing unintended consequences such as job losses. Ultimately, a multifaceted, inclusive approach is necessary to achieve sustainable and socially responsible outcomes in combating climate change.
