Introduction to Global Systems Accounting

Our partner Baha'i-inspired organization ebbf-Ethical Business Building the Future held its annual conference in Lisbon on 12-15 May 2020, including two workshop sessions on the Global Systems Accounting project described in more detail on this website.

Introduction to Global Systems Accounting

EBBF and the International Environment Forum have started a conversation about replacing purely financial measures of wealth with global systems accounting that directly measures progress towards environmental sustainability and human well-being. Initial results were presented at the ebbf Annual Conference in Lisbon on 12-15 May in two one-hour workshops which participants in the working groups and IEF members could join over Zoom. More information on the project is available at https://www.ebbf.org/global-systems-accounting and https://iefworld.org/accounting.
