Bridging the gap between political will and practical tools. Read MERGE’s summer 2025 newsletter below.
Over 80% of European citizens support indicators beyond GDP, yet a significant challenge remains: we lack consensus on the right policy instruments to get there. This is precisely the gap the MERGE project aims to bridge.
This edition of MERGE’s newsletter connects the dots between three co-creation workshops in Spain, Italy, and Finland, where we examined tensions in current frameworks.
In the newsletter, we also present research on framing competitiveness to align with long-term environmental goals, highlight the JRC’s latest work on welfare comparisons across the Atlantic, and offer a curated summer recommendations list. Read the full newsletter below.
