Measuring development beyond GDP: challenges and opportunities

Raúl Prebisch Room

This session will address the progress of the “Beyond GDP” initiative, launched by the UN Secretary-General, which seeks to develop a framework and indicators to complement GDP and measure sustainable development more comprehensively.
