Recognising the well-known limitations of economic growth as a litmus test of progress and the call by Target 19 of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17 to “develop measurements on progress on sustainable development that complement gross domestic product”, this paper advances understanding of the linkages between alternative measures of economic well-being, the well-being economy and the SDGs. A conceptual model is presented, linking four capital assets to well-being goals and domains, which are connected to related SDGs. An assessment is conducted on the extent to which Gross Domestic Product and five alternative indicators of economic well-being (Environmentally Adjusted Net Domestic Product, Measure of Economic Welfare, Genuine Savings, Genuine Progress Indicator and Inclusive Wealth Index) align with (a) the dimensions of economic well-being, and (b) various environmental, economic, social and institutional targets set by the SDGs. The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is found to be the most comprehensive in coverage, accounting for market-based welfare, services from essential capital, and various environmental and social costs, and linking directly to targets in fourteen of the seventeen SDGs. The paper discusses how greater use of alternative measures of economic well-being by policymakers can encourage transitions to economies which prioritise well-being and desirability objectives.

认识到经济增长作为进步的试金石的众所周知的局限性，并认识到可持续发展目标（SDG）17的目标19提出的“对补充国内生产总值的可持续发展进展进行衡量”，使人们对经济福祉，福祉经济和可持续发展目标的替代措施之间的联系。提出了一个概念模型，将四个资本资产与与相关可持续发展目标相关的福祉目标和领域相联系。评估国内生产总值和五种替代性经济福祉指标（环境调整后的国内生产总值，经济福利测度，真实储蓄，真实进步指标和包容性财富指数）与（a）经济福祉的各个方面，（b）可持续发展目标设定的各种环境，经济，社会和体制目标。真正的进度指标（GPI）被发现涵盖面最广，涵盖了基于市场的福利，基本资本服务以及各种环境和社会成本，并直接与17个SDG中的14个目标相关联。本文讨论了政策制定者如何更多地使用替代性经济福祉措施如何鼓励向优先于福祉和可取目标的经济转型。并直接链接到17个SDG中的14个目标。本文讨论了政策制定者如何更多地使用经济福祉的替代措施，可以鼓励向优先考虑福祉和需求目标的经济过渡。并直接链接到17个SDG中的14个目标。本文讨论了政策制定者如何更多地使用替代性经济福祉措施如何鼓励向优先于福祉和可取目标的经济转型。
