Wellbeing Economy
The Wellbeing Economy Alliance, key and leading organisation in the Wellbeing Economy movement, is a global coordination network connecting organizations building economies designed for shared wellbeing, not endless growth.
Operates as the connective tissue between circular economy, community wealth building, doughnut economics, solidarity economy, and regenerative movements. Government partnerships in Scotland, Wales, Iceland, Finland, New Zealand, and Canada demonstrate this isn’t fringe theory but practical policy shift.
Class III-IV – Critical coordination infrastructure beginning to prove itself. Not building new solutions but connecting existing ones, which makes it uniquely positioned to accelerate the transition. The framework bridges academic research, grassroots movements, and government policy in ways no other movement attempts.
Stage – Transition from Network Building to Implementation Scaling. Successfully established government partnerships and movement connections, now moving toward demonstrating coordinated impact at scale.
