>nef (the new economics foundation) is a British independent think-and-do tank that inspires and demonstrates real economic well-being.
We aim to improve quality of life by promoting innovative solutions that challenge mainstream thinking on economic, environmental and social issues. We work in partnership and put people and the planet first.
In July 2006, NEF launched the Happy Planet Index, intended to challenge existing indices of a state’s success, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Human Development Index (HDI).
