Book Description
Indicators are essential tools for policy making, & since the publication of the Brundlandt Report in 1987, policy makers & analysts have been trying to capture the concept of sustainable development in statistics. National policy makers, among others, who have been trying to identify a set of indicators that would indicate national prosperity, well-being & sustainability, will find this publication essential. It presents a provisional core set of 17 indicators for changing consumption & production patterns. The publication covers key resources like energy, materials, water & land, & such consumption clusters as mobility, consumer goods & services, buildings & housekeeping, food & recreation. Measuring Changes in Consumption & Production Patterns also discusses policy strategies & targets, as well as trends & developments in policy making.
