Conclusions. 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. 650 0 Economic development|xEnvironmental aspects. 650 0 Environmental policy. 650 0 Natural resources. 650 0 Nature|xEffect of human beings on. 650 7 SCIENCE|xLife Sciences|xEcology.|2bisacsh 650 7 Economic development|xEnvironmental aspects.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00901808 650 7 Environmental policy.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00913250 650 7 Natural resources.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01034403 650 7 Nature|xEffect of human beings on.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01034564 700 1 Alperovitz, Gar,|eauthor.|4aut 700 1 Daly, Herman E.,|eauthor.|4aut 700 1 Farley, Joshua,|eauthor.|4aut 700 1 Franco, Carol,|d1946-|eauthor.|4aut 700 1 Jackson, Tim,|eauthor.|4aut 700 1 Kubiszewski, Ida,|eauthor.|4aut 700 1 Schor, Juliet,|eauthor.|4aut 700 1 Victor, Peter A.,|d1946-|eauthor.|4aut 914 ocn841465631 994 92|bCKE
