Is it possible to reconcile economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, and human
well-being?
This conference aims to explore the relationship between happiness and sustainability
from an interdisciplinary perspective.
The conference will bring together scholars in economics, sociology, psychology, political
science, environmental studies, and related fields to address a central question: can we
design institutions, policies, and lifestyles that simultaneously enhance well-being and
respect planetary boundaries?
We invite scholars researchers and academics to submit an abstract (max 300 words) or a
full paper.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
→ Income, consumption, and subjective well-being
→ Well-being and environmental behavior
→ Sustainable lifestyles and life satisfaction
→ Social capital, community, and ecological sustainability
→ Urban design, public spaces, and quality of life
→ Alternative indicators of progress beyond GDP
→ Policy frameworks integrating well-being and sustainability

sustainability, and human well-being.
