Measuring progress, strengthening governance and assisting in the promotion of positive change

Download

IISD is working with Winnipeg's First Nations people to establish sustainability indicators that are reflective of the urban community and their identified issues and concerns. The initiative involves working collaboratively with community members and organizations to build lasting capacity at the local level in order to setup, maintain and use indicators to improve decision-making. The ultimate goal is to make a positive impact on human well-being, economic development and environmental sustainability.

Sustainability indicators are being proposed to help understand the current state of the urban First Nations community, what course the community is on, and how far the community is from where it wants to be. In essence, the sustainability indicators are expected to help the First Nations community move closer to the following objectives:

In order to accomplish these objectives and ensure the project meets the needs of the growing urban community, IISD is committed to engaging the urban community and its service-delivery sector every step of the way.
