The primary objective of the 2014 Inclusive Wealth Report (IWR 2014) is to provide quantitative information and analysis on long-term trends in global inclusive wealth (IW), and in doing so paint a picture of how nations are performing in their efforts to sustainably improve the well-being of their citizens. Another objective of the report is to further drive global efforts toward improving conceptual understanding – and quantitative evaluation – of the components of inclusive wealth that remain all-too poorly understood: natural capital and human capital.
