This handbook provides researchers and students with an overview of
the field of sustainability indicators (SIs) as applied in the
interdisciplinary field of sustainable development. The editors
have sought to include views from the center ground of SI
development but also divergent ideas which represent some of the
diverse, challenging and even edgy observations which are prominent
in the wider field of SI thinking. The contributions in this
handbook: * clearly set out the theoretical background and history
of SIs, their origins, roots and initial goals * expand on the
disciplines and modalities employed to develop SIs of various kinds
* assess the various ways in which SI data are gathered and the
availability (over space and time) and quality issues that surround
them * explore the multiplex world of SIs as expressed in agencies
around the world, via examples of SI practice and the lessons that
have emerged from them * critically review the progress that SIs
have made over the last 30 years * express the divergence of views
which are held about the value of SIs, including differing theories
on their efficacy, efficiency and ethics * explore the frontier of
contemporary SI thinking, reviewing ante/post and systemic
alternatives This multidisciplinary and international handbook will
be of great interest to researchers, students and practitioners
working in sustainability research and practice.
