The Wellbeing Economy Forum, hosted by the Prime Minister of Iceland, Bjarni Benediktsson, and the Minister of Health, Willum Þór Þórsson, will take place in the vibrant city of Reykjavik on June 11th and 12th, 2024. Organized by the Icelandic Directorate of Health with support from the EU Health Program, the Wellbeing Economy Forum stands as a beacon for change in our economic system, emphasizing safe environmental limits and the collective wellbeing of current and future generations.
This event, with a strong emphasis on the wellbeing economy framework, is not just a platform for dialogue and collaboration but an opportunity for you to contribute to the global conversation. Politicians, policymakers, business leaders, academics, and practitioners worldwide are invited to join us in fostering an environment where diverse perspectives converge with a shared commitment to crafting sustainable wellbeing for all. In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), we recognize the imperative of interdisciplinary cooperation and holistic solutions to address the multifaceted challenges of our time.
Our distinguished speakers, known for their expertise and insights, will engage in discussions ranging from integrating wellbeing priorities into public budgeting to exploring the nexus between health and prosperity. They will also lead sessions on statistics, measures of sustainability, and the role of government and the economy in driving change.
