Happiness and well-being. Do they make good policyJasper Bergink
This presentation was prepared for a conference in Brussels, organised by the Danish Embassy in Belgium and the Young Professionals in Foreign Policy on 4 June 2015. The title of the conference was 'Beyond GDP. Why Happiness is Good Policy'.
The document discusses strategies for achieving faster, more inclusive, and sustainable growth in India according to the Twelfth Five Year Plan. It outlines short-term goals of reversing the current slowdown and reaching 6.5-7% growth by 2013-14. Longer-term it aims to accelerate growth to over 9% to achieve high growth. Growth must be both rapid and inclusive, targeting poverty reduction, regional equality, improved conditions for disadvantaged groups, job opportunities, and closing gender gaps. It discusses the challenges of increasing investment and savings while reducing deficits to support high growth rates. It emphasizes the need for effective flagship social programs combined with growth that creates income and jobs.
The document discusses public policies for mainstreaming climate-smart agriculture (CSA) at large scales. It asks (A) if existing policies support CSA, (B) how to motivate policymakers to integrate CSA, and (C) constraints in integrating research into policy. For A, there is no specific CSA policy and it needs to be included in agriculture policies. For B, building consensus with research evidence and awareness at global and local levels can motivate policymakers. For C, constraints include lack of communication between researchers and policymakers, insufficient resources, and research not aligned with government priorities.

The government of Bangladesh has gradually incorporated environmental protection into national policies and plans over time. Early development plans focused on economic growth with little consideration for the environment. More recent policies emphasize sustainable management of natural resources, pollution prevention, and climate change adaptation and mitigation. Bangladesh developed a Country Investment Plan to provide a strategic framework for coordinating national and international investments across environment, forestry, and climate change sectors through 2021. The plan identifies priority investment areas needed to achieve national goals of becoming a middle-income country while addressing associated environmental and social costs of rapid development.

GDP measures the total market value of goods and services produced in a country each year, serving as an indicator of economic activity. However, GDP was not designed to measure social or economic welfare. It fails to account for externalities like environmental and social impacts. Alternative measures have been proposed that take a more holistic view, considering factors like life expectancy, education, income inequality, environmental footprint, and subjective well-being. While GDP provides useful data, a combination of economic, social, and environmental indicators is needed for a complete picture of a nation's progress.

Overview of the 12th Five Year Plan (2012 - 2017)NITI Aayog
This document outlines India's 12th Five Year Plan strategy for achieving faster, more inclusive, and sustainable economic growth. It discusses short and long-term challenges including reversing the current slowdown and achieving over 9% growth. The plan aims to make growth more inclusive by reducing poverty, improving regional equality, and generating employment. It sets targets across various social and economic indicators and proposes combining pro-poor programs with policies to promote inclusive growth. Achieving the plan's goals will require increasing investment, savings, and infrastructure while containing subsidies and fiscal deficits. Effectively implementing flagship programs while giving states flexibility is also emphasized. Challenges around energy, water, and alternative growth scenarios are also summarized.
Thailand achieved most MDG targets early in the 2000s through sustainable health system development and investments in infrastructure, health workforce, and financial risk protection. This success was due to political and financial commitments to health, continuity of pro-poor policies across governments, rapid economic growth, and effective generation and use of evidence to guide policies and implementation. Thailand then introduced a national "MDG Plus" agenda to move beyond global targets and ensure more equitable progress, focusing on poorer areas. Maintaining these achievements and embracing emerging issues like non-communicable diseases will be important beyond 2015.

Meeting of the OECD Council at Ministerial Level Paris, 6-7 May 2014Dr Lendy Spires
My strategic orientations set out how the OECD will continue to support Member and Partner Countries in addressing the four main legacies of the global financial crisis – low growth, high unemployment, declining trust and rising inequality – by providing timely, targeted, evidence-based advice on the design and implementation of “better policies for better lives”. • To effectively fulfil this role, the OECD needs to continuously upgrade its analytical framework and to better incorporate into its recommendations the inter-linkages, trade-offs and synergies that are the defining feature of the current policy landscape. This was the main motivation behind the launching of the ‘New Approaches to Economic Challenges’ (NAEC) initiative, the initial findings of which will be presented at this year’s Ministerial Council Meeting. Global Outlook • The ‘four cylinders’ of the global economy are still running at half speed, leaving the recovery weak, uneven and fragile. Despite some recent signs of improvement in trade and investment, credit growth and activity in emerging-markets have yet to regain their pre-crisis dynamism. • This challenge is compounded by policymakers’ limited room for manoeuvre. Expansionary fiscal policy has been accompanied by a surge in public debt in OECD economies, while highly supportive monetary policy is showing diminishing marginal returns and should be gradually normalised. For leaders in advanced and emerging economies alike, productivity-enhancing structural reforms remain the best avenue for pursuing robust long-term growth. • But stronger growth alone is not enough! We need growth that is balanced, inclusive and green, built on resilient national institutions and effective international co-operation. Structural reforms must aim to increase productivity, but also to reduce inequality, improve well-being, protect the environment and to help rebuild public trust. In this regard, the OECD’s approach to – “go structural, go social, go green, go institutional, and go national” – remains as pertinent as ever. Growth and Jobs • NAEC is already delivering a multi-dimensional policy analysis framework that is expected to permeate across the Organisation.
The document outlines Iceland's vision and policy for transitioning to a green economy. The key points are:
1) Iceland aims to be a model green economy by emphasizing sustainable use of renewable energy, clean environment, innovation and education around sustainability.
2) The government will promote green growth through economic incentives, green jobs, investments, and making the state a model of green practices.
3) There is broad political consensus around transitioning Iceland's economy and society to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Indonesia is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 26% below business-as-usual levels by 2020 and potentially 41% with international assistance. The Green Paper outlines economically sound policy strategies for cost-effective climate change mitigation in Indonesia. It proposes a carbon tax/levy on fossil fuels coupled with energy subsidies reform and access to carbon markets. It also recommends incentivizing regional governments to reduce emissions from land use change and forestry through fiscal transfers. The Green Paper argues for attracting international carbon finance to support Indonesia's transition to a low-carbon economy while ensuring adequate returns, and continuing engagement in international climate negotiations.

The 2023 edition of Government at a Glance provides a comprehensive overview of public governance and public administration practices in OECD Member and partner countries. It includes indicators on trust in public institutions and satisfaction with public services, as well as evidence on good governance practices in areas such as the policy cycle, budgeting, procurement, infrastructure planning and delivery, regulatory governance, digital government and open government data. Finally, it provides information on what resources public institutions use and how they are managed, including public finances, public employment, and human resources management. Government at a Glance allows for cross-country comparisons and helps identify trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in the public sector.

This document summarizes developments in sovereign green bond markets. It discusses approaches to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into public debt management. Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies. However, issuers also face challenges such as additional costs and complexity of the issuance process. Common leading practices emphasize transparency, collaboration, and commitment to reporting.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

State crafting: Changes and challenges for managing the public finances
Evidence informed policy making in New Zealand in 2018
1. Evidence informed policy
making in New Zealand in 2018
Nick Carroll
Economic Counsellor
New Zealand Permanent Delegation to the OECD
11 April 2018
2. New Zealand as a case study when political
priorities change
• Political priorities have changed in
New Zealand – a wellbeing
perspective
• Evidence informed policy remains
important with a strong aggregate
and sector focus
• Getting the balance right – keeping
a medium term focus on what
matters while delivering in the
short term
3. Political priorities in New Zealand have shifted
towards wellbeing
We are putting the wellbeing of people and the environment at the centre of
what we do, and introducing policies which will allow for an economy where
we work smarter, make better use of our resources, and where the benefits
of growth are more evenly spread across society.
Grant Robertson, Minister of Finance – 2018 IPANZ speech
4. Evidence informed policy remains important
• Progress reporting – economic, social
and environmental reporting based on
the How’s life? – Treasury/ Statistics New
Zealand
• The budget – 2019 ‘wellbeing’ budget
will have a focus on decision-making
based on the evidence on impact on
wellbeing - Treasury
• Use of targets in social and
environmental policy –
• 10 year child poverty targets with annual
reporting on progress – Department of Prime
Minister and Cabinet
• the Government aims to reduce our
emissions to net zero by 2050.
• Use of working groups on specific
issues – independent Tax Working
Group providing medium term advice
based on terms of reference – Treasury
secretariat
5. Getting the balance right
• Supporting a new government with immediate priorities…
• while keeping a medium term orientation
• Focusing on the big wellbeing outcomes…
• while focusing on decisions that improve government for citizens
• Using existing agencies for continuity…
• while quickly building capacity in new priority areas
