Abstract: Abstract A Wellbeing Economy is an economy that delivers social justice on a healthy planet. The Wellbeing Economy movement is being brought together by the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll), a ten-year project created to catalyse systems change towards the realisation of a Wellbeing Economy. A crucial role for WEAll as an organisation is providing the connective tissue between the different elements of the Wellbeing Economy movement, by creating unprecedented cooperation between actors working in their own areas and layers of the economic system. One of the key projects catalysed by WEAll is the Wellbeing Economy Governments (WEGo) partnership, which is the only living laboratory at scale in the world today that is testing and implementing Wellbeing Economy policies. This chapter will explore the purpose for which the Wellbeing Economy Alliance was created, its evolution over time, and examples of Wellbeing Economy policies being put into practice to shift the economic system towards a Wellbeing Economy. These examples can serve as inspiration for how policy makers can implement policies to make a Wellbeing Economy a reality.
