Sustainability Indicators

Sustainability in- dicators are measures that have been derived in an effort to calculate sustainability, usually in an environmental or developmental sense, and form an area that has been rapidly expanding as environmental concerns grow increasingly urgent. There are several leading schools of thought which differ over how exactly sustainability should be measured and managed, including the Daly Rules approach, the Natural Step approach, the Ecological Footprint approach, the Anthropological- cultural approach and the Circles of Sustainability approach among others.
