Putting collective wellbeing and sustainable development into action: An options paper for Scotland

Based on primary research with leaders and senior officials across Scotland’s public administration system, this report outlines a range of options to revitalise Scotland’s approach to the Wellbeing of Future Generations and Sustainable Development.

This report has two parts:

• Part 1 outlines the key barriers within Scotland’s current approach to the Wellbeing of Future Generations and Sustainable Development.
• Part 2 develops and compares six possible operating models for carrying a new agenda forward.

This report was commissioned by the Scotland’s International Development Alliance in partnership with the Wellbeing Economy Alliance in Scotland, Oxfam Scotland and Carnegie UK.

This research report was undertaken and written before the Scottish Government’s announcement of their intention to reform the National Performance Framework.
