Assessing Sustainable Development: Principles in Practice

» Peter Hardi, Terrence Zdan, IISD, 1997. Livre, 166 pages, tous droits réservés: IISD, ISBN 1-895536-07-3

These principles deal with four aspects of assessing progress toward sustainable development. Principle 1 deals with the starting point of any assessment - establishing a vision of sustainable development and clear goals that provide a practical definition of that vision in terms that are meaningful for the decision-making unit in question. Principles 2 through 5 deal with the content of any assessment and the need to merge a sense of the overall system with a practical focus on current priority issues. Principles 6 through 8 deal with key issues of the process of assessment, while Principles 9 and 10 with the necessity for establishing a continuing capacity for assessment.
