OECD Better Life Index

What measures would be in a national sustainability index?

29th May 2012 by John Drummond

The OECD Better Life Index is a stronger snapshot of total social and economic wellbeing than individual measures like GDP or CO2 reductions. But it’s a snapshot of today and yesterday.

What I believe we need is national and international sustainability indices. National governments should be defining their own targets for 15, 20, 30 years from now in terms of aspirations to sustain and improve lifestyles.
