24 Hour Webinar: Happiness & Sustainability Around the Earth

Happiness and wellbeing is something all humans experience, and is something most societies strive to achieve on a communal scale. In an age of convenience, we are living in an increasingly isolated society, with depression, loneliness, and anxiety running rampant in both high- and low-income countries. According to the WHO, “depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease.” And according to the World Happiness Report, happiness is a better measure of a nation’s progress than GDP, and using social well-being as a goal drives better public policy.

The Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) invites you to join their networks around the world, around the clock as they broadcast for 24 hours on April 22nd, the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day.
