The UN's High-Level Expert Group on Beyond GDP presented a dashboard of 31 indicators in four dimensions on 7 May 2026, and member states are discussing a framework in intergovernmental consultations. Open questions include whether it gets a headline number and which governance arrangements will support it.

What it brings

  • Policies judged on well-being, equity and sustainability, not output alone
  • Countries compared on the same measures of health, inclusion and nature
  • Unpaid care work and the depletion of nature visible in public accounts
