The Como Wellbeing Manifesto drafted by leading economist Prof. Lord Richard Layard was launched at The World Happiness Summit 2023. Over 40 cross-party UK MP’s and thousands of people around the world have signed the manifesto seeking to place the wellbeing of people at the heart of public policy.

The manifesto calls on policymakers, businesses, schools, and individuals to reappraise the ultimate goal for society ‘beyond GDP’ to a measure of people’s wellbeing: their enjoyment of life, their sense of satisfaction and of fulfillment. (#letsputwelbeingfirst)
