Our Vision & 5 WEAll Needs
Through workshops and consultations with WEAll Members, WEAll’s membership came up with 5 core goals or needs that a wellbeing economy would be designed to deliver.
These are rooted in research, indigenous worldviews and psychology – a huge amount of complexity of thought and process went into these seemingly simple 5 principles.
We all need
Fairness
Justice in all its dimensions at the head of economic systems and the gap between the richest and poorest greatly reduced
We all need
Nature
A restored and safe natural world for all life
We all need
Participation
Citizens are actively engaged in their communities and locally rooted economies
We all need
Connection
A sense of belonging and institutions that serve the common good
We all need
Dignity
Everyone has enough to live in comfort, safety and happiness
