Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Just a few weeks before the GII gathered in Lyon, France for the GII Annual Meeting, we recorded the last episode in the GII podcast series, Preventing More Than Flu.

In this episode, GII Steering Committee member @Litjen LJ Tan interviewed John Paget, our former GII co-chair, on the subject: What next for B/Yamagata? This is a very timely topic on which John was extremely knowledgeable and that he was keen to share with the wider influenza community. It is in this spirit that we would like to share this podcast with you.
 
We dedicate this GII podcast series to the memory of our dear colleague, Dr John Paget, 1964–2023.
 
Bruno Lina (GII Co-chair)

The UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) is adopting a new measure, Gross Inclusive Income (GII), to redefine economic growth beyond GDP. Unlike GDP, which measures only monetary transactions and often misrepresents harmful activities as economic progress, GII includes non-monetary factors like renewable energy benefits and voluntary care. GDP, originally a wartime tool, fails to account for wellbeing, sustainability, and social value, ignoring crucial aspects of life such as peace, environmental health, and relationships.

Alternative metrics like the Human Development Index, Better Life Index, Positive Peace Index, and Genuine Progress Indicator offer broader views of societal progress by emphasizing health, education, environmental costs, and community wellbeing. Advocates suggest combining such measures for a comprehensive understanding of progress.

The ONS is integrating these ideas, using data from 2005 to develop GII. During the COVID-19 pandemic, GII grew faster than GDP, driven by renewable energy’s positive impact on emissions and pollution. Economist Diane Coyle lauds this as "pioneering work," hoping other nations follow suit.
