| Abstract | Empirical indicators of environmentally sustainable development are increasingly important. They focus policy-making and provide concrete measures of effectiveness. Unlike economic and social indicators, indicators for the environment are just beginning to be formulated. This report offers guidance toward that end. Drawing on illustrative examples and case studies, it provides a conceptual model for designing environmental indicators and proposes specific, highly aggregated indicators at the national level. |
