The Prime Minister of Bhutan, H.E. Mr. Jigmi Y. Thinley, outlined the purpose of the High-level Meeting in his opening remarks: We desperately need an economy that serves and nurtures the wellbeing of all sentient beings on earth and the human happiness that comes from living life in harmony with the natural world, with our communities, and with our inner selves. We need an economy that will serve humanity, not enslave it. it must prevent the imminent reversal of civilization and flourish within the natural bounds of our planet while ensuring the sustainable, equitable and meaningful use of precious resources. Business as usual cannot go on and tinkering with the existing system will not do. We need a fundamental transformation that the Tellus institute calls the Great Transition. Our goal today is to launch the initiative for such a transition. From the UN paper Defining a New Economic Paradigm
