Abstract
This paper explores the multidisciplinary research on the economics of happiness, a field that examines the complex relationship between economic factors and human well-being. The paper includes a literature review that synthesizes current research linking the economics of happiness with the pressing issue of climate change, offering insights into how this evolving field can guide policymakers and individuals towards a more holistic understanding of prosperity. The findings are discussed in the context of recent empirical studies, and the paper concludes with reflections on the implications for future research and policy development.
