The Happy Planet Index (HPI) is a groundbreaking measure of sustainable wellbeing that ranks countries based on their ability to provide long, happy lives while efficiently utilizing environmental resources. This index challenges the notion that economic growth equates to overall prosperity, highlighting the importance of prioritizing collective wellbeing over short-term gains. The HPI emphasizes that true prosperity involves factors beyond mere economic output, such as social relations, health, and leisure time, while staying within the planet's ecological limits.

The Five Ways to Wellbeing, identified by the HPI team, present evidence-based actions that individuals can take to enhance their overall wellbeing without harming the Earth. By redefining economic efficiency to prioritize sustainable wellbeing, the Happy Planet Index offers a compass for nations to progress towards a future of genuine prosperity and sustainability.
