About the product
Indicators are essential tools for policy making, and since the publication of the Brundlandt Report in 1987, policy makers and analysts have been trying to capture the concept of sustainable development in statistics. National policy makers, among others, who have been trying to identify a set of indicators that would indicate national prosperity, well-being and sustainability, will find this publication essential. It presents a provisional core set of 17 indicators for changing consumption and production patterns. The publication covers key resources like energy, materials, water and land, and such consumption clusters as mobility, consumer goods and services, buildings and housekeeping, food and recreation. Measuring Changes in Consumption and Production Patterns also discusses policy strategies and targets, as well as trends and developments in policy making.
