Indicators to Measure Decoupling of Environmental Pressure from Economic Growth
This report has been prepared by the OECD Secretariat in response to the request issued by the OECD Council at Ministerial level (May 2001) that the Organisation assist its Member countries in realising their sustainable development objectives. Inter alia, the Council suggested that the OECD undertake the specific task of developing agreed indicators to measure progress across all three dimensions of sustainable development. This includes indicators that can measure the decoupling of economic growth from environmental degradation and that might be used in conjunction with other indicators in OECD's economic, social, and environmental peer review processes. |
