B2. Wellbeing economy
The development of a wellbeing economy is key for the Cairngorms as the economy recovers from the
pandemic and we tackle a cost-of-living crisis. We need to continue to develop an economic model that
benefits people and nature, aiming for a more equitable distribution of wealth, health and wellbeing; promoting
local expenditure, encouraging sustainable inward investment whilst protecting the planet’s resources for
future generations and other species.
In developing a Wellbeing Economy Action Plan, we will also tackle cost-of-living issues and explore long-term
solutions to issues such as rising heating costs, how to deliver a just transition etc in the Cairngorms.
OBJECTIVE
Develop a wellbeing economy that delivers social justice in a
healthy ecosystem, drawing on the special natural and cultural
qualities of the Cairngorms.
