Measuring New Zealand’s Progress Using a Sustainable Development Approach: 2008

This updates an earlier blog entry on defining progress.  ANew NZ and Statistics NZ released their report from the workshops held across the country in a report entitled "Measuring New Zealand’s Progress Using a Sustainable Development Approach: 2008", now available on their website.  In a nutshell, the report, "presents an overarching view of New Zealand’s environmental, economic, and social progress and whether that progress was consistent with sustainable development. The selected indicators provide information about whether we are meeting our current needs, how our resources are distributed, how efficiently we are using our resources, and what impact our actions may have on the stock of resources that will be available in the future."
