¶Utilitarianism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_utilitarianism
"""
Rule utilitarianism is a form of utilitarianism that says an action is right as it conforms to a rule that leads to the greatest good, or that "the rightness or wrongness of a particular action is a function of the correctness of the rule of which it is an instance".[1] Philosophers Richard Brandt and Brad Hooker are major proponents of such an approach.
For rule utilitarians, the correctness of a rule is determined by the amount of good it brings about when followed. In contrast, act utilitarians judge an act in terms of the consequences of that act alone (such as stopping at a red light), rather than judging whether it faithfully adhered to the rule of which it was an instance (such as, "always stop at red lights"). Rule utilitarians argue that following rules that tend to lead to the greatest good will have better consequences overall than allowing exceptions to be made in individual instances, even if better consequences can be demonstrated in those instances.

¶Tisso: "True Value"
"""
Basically the idea is to create a meta database/platform that crunches all the available info on the True Value of any product or service.
The positive externalities (benefits) and the negative externalities (cost) of the social and ecological impact.
There are hundreds of studies that don't get appreciated or valued by turning them into constructive incentives
... for each of the 4 stakeholders:
(buyers/users, producers/retailers, policy makers and Challengers being: ngo's, researchers & start ups)
Allocating responsabilities in the multi stakeholder issue in a more effective way by (re-) valueing and appreciating other things that actually have a value, but which we neglect because of system failure.
In essence the failure of our current system is a consequence of a mindset which no longer represents today's reality.
Our current systems are all set up from a Scarcity mindset, fear induced.
Per consequence it becomes driven by a desire for disengagement and very binary: yes I take the risk or no I don't. But it often neglects possibilities already available in the wider context. Our current production capacity exceeds needs. It's just horribly allocated because it still is feeding on a hoarding mentality.
This has deeper philosophical and spiritual grounds i think but ok. Let me maybe pause here for a sec :-)
Sorry didn't finish that sentence. Using them as constructive incentives, thus turning them into solutions for other stakeholders.
This way they get valued and appreciated. The value they represent can come back to them through an increase in effectivity.
But also lacunes in data which are valuable for sustainable solutions would become more easy to link with research groups in the field.
--------------------
(for CHT)
Going through your websites again I think there might be very interesting partnerships possible. I do try to put value first, solutions over problems.
Steering away from discussion and politics.
I see politics more as effects I'd like to start from a focus on the source and the purpose.
Something where most people, even dirty capitalists, tend to agree on.
I like to focus on creating a context that incentivizes change.

¶Bhutan index (GNH)
The Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index was formally adopted as a development indicator in Bhutan's 2008 Constitution and up until last year, Bhutan's tourism slogan was “Happiness is a Place.” March 20 is International Day of Happiness, a global celebration of happiness organized by the United Nations.Mar 20, 2023

Since 2013, the Chinese government has issued a set of action plans catered toward the ecological civilization construction. To quantify and evaluate the ecological civilization development, this study has introduced the ecological civilization index of China (ECI), using different standardization methods (extreme standardization, single-benchmark progressive standardization, and double benchmark progressive standardization), to evaluate ecological civilization development on city-level (337 cities) of China. The issues of China's ecological civilization construction were analyzed.

This study provides valuable knowledge for both the ecological and environment management and eco-civilization construction

Eco-civilization construction was introduced by the Chinese government in the edition on the sustainable development of China, which is on the premises of ecology preservation and environment improvement to strengthen the economic and social development. Since 2013, the Chinese government has issued a set of action plans catered toward ecological civilization construction. Since eco-civilization construction has been written into the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, eco-civilization construction is a long-term and national task (Xi, 2018). However, it remains unclear how the ecological civilization development can be quantified and evaluated.

China's wide-ranging circular economy (CE) efforts have been studied multiple times from a range of perspectives. Synthesizing the relevant literature, this paper provides a critical reflection on the transition to a CE in China. Key factors for China's success in shifting towards a CE are seen in multi-level indicators and upscaling niches. This paper makes a novel contribution on limitations to progress, based on emerging evidence on CE projects that fail to sustain. Enriched by experts feedback, this paper critically addresses future challenges to a deep transition resulting from implementation gaps between early majorities and mass markets and coordination challenges arising through regional and sectoral differences. In light of China's commitments to climate neutrality by 2060, such challenges are considered serious

This paper redefines the connotation of China's human development in the context of the new development concept and high-quality development, and constructs the China Human Development Index (CHDI) indicator system accordingly. Then, based on the inequality adjustment model and DFA model, the human development level of each region in China from 1990 to 2018 is measured, and the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of China's CHDI and the current situation of regional imbalance are analyzed accordingly. Finally, LMDI decomposition technique and spatial econometric model were used to study the influencing factors of China's human development index. The results show that: (1) The weights of the CHDI sub-index estimated by the DFA model have good stability, and it is a relatively good objective weighting method. (2) Compared with the HDI, the CHDI in this paper can better reflect the level of human development in China. (3) China's human development has made great achievements and has basically achieved the leap from the low human development level group to the high human development level group. However, there are still significant gaps between regions. (4) From the results of LMDI decomposition, the livelihood index is the most important driving index of CHDI growth in each region. From the results of spatial econometric regressions, there is a strong spatial autocorrelation of China's CHDI among the 31 provinces. GDP per capita, financial education expenditure per capita, urbanization rate, and financial health expenditure per capita are the main influencing factors of CHDI. Based on the above research findings, this paper proposes a scientific and effective macroeconomic policy with important reference value for promoting the high-quality development of China's economy and society.
