LSE Growth Commission Report

Subject: LSE Growth Commission Report
Message:
Prompted by a report in today's Guardian, I looked this up on the LSE website and saw that the LSE Growth Commission has proposed "reforming the way we measure and monitor changes in material wellbeing and its distribution, including regularly publishing median household income alongside the latest data on GDP".

There are some references to climate change in the LSE report, though there are as many if not more references to the climate for investment.  There is one reference to sustainable growth.

Overall, something of a 'Stiglitz-lite' approach to measuring economic performance, social progress and environmental sustainability?  Have I missed something?
