       and desirable economy-in-society-in-nature look like? --

520    The world has changed dramatically. We no longer live in a
       world relatively empty of humans and their artifacts. We 
       now live in the "Anthropocene" era in a full world where 
       humans are dramatically altering our ecological life-
       support system. Our traditional economic concepts and 
       models were developed in an empty world. If we are to 
       create sustainable prosperity, if we seek "improved human 
       well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing
       environmental risks and ecological scarcities," we are 
       going to need a new vision of the economy and its 
       relationship to the rest of the world that is better 
       adapted to the new conditions we face. We are going to 
       need an economics that respects planetary boundaries, that
       recognizes the dependence of human well-being on social 
       relations and fairness, and that recognizes that the 
       ultimate goal is real, sustainable human well-being, not 
       merely growth of material consumption. This new economics 
       recognizes that the economy is embedded in a society and 
       culture that are themselves embedded in an ecological life
       -support system, and that the economy cannot grow forever 
       on this finite planet. In this report, we discuss the need
       to focus more directly on the goal of sustainable human 
       well-being rather than merely GDP growth. This includes 
       protecting and restoring nature, achieving social and 
       intergenerational fairness (including poverty alleviation),
       stabilizing population, and recognizing the significant 
       nonmarket contributions to human well-being from natural 
       and social capital. To do this, we need to develop better 
       measures of progress that go well beyond GDP and begin to 
       measure human well-being and its sustainability more 
       directly.
