The centre for well-being at nef (the new economics foundation) aims to enhance individual and collective well-being in ways that are environmentally sustainable and socially just.
Set-up in 2006, the centre builds on nef's established well-being programme and significantly expands our work in this area. Our aim is to promote the concept of well-being as legitimate and useful aim of policy and to provide individuals, communities and organisations with the understanding and tools to redefine wealth in terms of well-being. We believe it is possible to lead long and happy lives without costing the earth.
We advance thinking in this area by undertaking policy-relevant research and consultancy, by measuring well-being and the factors influencing well-being, and by providing the training and tools for others to assess and positively influence well-being.
We undertake pioneering work on psychological well-being, capturing how people feel and how they function, as well as working simultaneously on environmental, social, and economic well-being to deal with the conflicts and trade offs between them.
