The goal of sustainable development is to meet the socio-economic
and environmental objectives without comprising the needs of future
generations. Since the Rio Summit of 1992, the concept of
sustainability has captured our imaginations and aspirations and
efforts to develop its indicators have increased. A range of
sustainability indicators have been developed within various
socio-economic, environmental and cultural contexts- including
biodiversity, economy, energy, water, land use and transport.
Sustainability indicators are widespread in international
development arena. They have become popularized among governments,
non-governmental organizations, private sector and the wider
public. Based on multiple cases across the world, this book
explores opportunities and challenges associated with the practical
application of sustainability indicators. The book reflects
diversity of professionals of inter-disciplinary backgrounds
covering contemporary issues within different socio-economic and
environmental contexts. Each chapter presents practical examples of
the merits and challenges of using sustainability indicators and
draws conclusions and lessons learned. The book targets a range of
audience from students, academics to development practitioners and
policy-makers. The two editors of this book: Dr. Agnieszka Ewa
Latawiec and Dr. Dorice Agol are inter-disciplinary scientists who
both have experience in research at the environmental conservation
and development nexus.
