As research to broaden understanding of flourishing in diverse contexts expands, so does its potential to impact our shared future. At Templeton World Charity Foundation’s Global Scientific Conference on Human Flourishing, a panel moderated by Laura Helmuth of Scientific American, discussed leveraging research findings and applications to impact short- and long-term public policy. The conversation explored different schools of thought on how a holistic approach to policymaking can set the stage for flourishing. A range of factors to be considered were highlighted, including culture, community, sustainability, and systemic change.
