Happiness or growth? Is GNH - Gross National Happiness – a solution to coping with growth?

A panel composed of professor Steen Thomsen, CBS, Stine Bosse, president of CONCITO, the Green Think Tank,  and Natalie Mossin, president of the Danish Architects’ Association will discuss with Jigmi Y Thinley and the audience.
