Useful World Wide Web Addresses. Increasingly the key organisations and
research institutions in the field of environmental and ecological economics
provide information on the world wide web. This is often more up to date and
detailed than that provided through hardcopy publications. Below are a few key
websites which you may find of interest.

Indicators of Sustainable Development. Indicators for monitoring progress
towards sustainable development are needed in order to assist decision-makers
and policy-makers at all levels and to increase focus on sustainable development.
Beyond the commonly used economic indicators of well-being, however, social,
environmental and institutional indicators have to be taken into account as
well to arrive at a broader, more complete picture of societal development.
As part of the implementation of the Work Programme on Indicators of Sustainable
Development (ISDs) adopted by the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD)
at its Third Session in April 1995, a working list of 134 indicators and related
methodology sheets were developed, improved and tested at the national level
by the world. Based on the voluntary national testing and expert group consultation,
a revised set of 58 indicators and methodology sheets are now available for
all countries to use.
