International Examples of a Wellbeing Approach in Practice

Over recent years a movement has been building among policymakers and governments around the world to begin to incorporate a wellbeing approach into policy making. This report builds on comprehensive research on examples for wellbeing policies and analyses five selected case studies: Wales, Scotland, France, Portugal and Canada.

This report responds to the growing momentum within the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (IenW) in the Netherlands to incorporate wellbeing policies and aims to provide an overview of specific cases of implementation of a wellbeing approach and to reflect on lessons learned from these approaches to support the Ministry in its journey.
