Sustainable Community Indicators

Resources on Community Sustainability Indicators that measure progress toward a sustainable economy, society and environment

"An indicator is something that helps you understand where you are, which way you are going and how far you are from where you want to be. A good indicator alerts you to a problem before it gets too bad and helps you recognize what needs to be done to fix the problem. Indicators of a sustainable community point to areas where the links between the economy, environment and society are weak. They allow you to see where the problem areas are and help show the way to fix those problems." Sustainable Measures website
