Sustainability Indicators defines the present state of the art in indicator development.

Sustainability Indicators helps planners and policy makers find indicators that are ready for application and relevant to their needs, and will help researchers identify the unresolved issues where progress is most urgently needed. All readers will find advice as to the most effective ways to use indicators to support decision making.
