I coordinate the annual publication of the World Happiness Report, the world’s foremost publication on global wellbeing and human progress. Working in partnership with Gallup, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and the editorial board, I promote the latest research on global happiness and how to increase it.

In 2019, I helped to create the Happier Lives Institute, a charity evaluator that compares the impact of international NGOs using subjective wellbeing measures. In 2022, I was part of the organising team for the Wellbeing Research & Policy Conference in Oxford. Most recently, my work at the International Alliance of Mental Health Research Funders has supported greater collaboration across the sector.
