FEEM Sustainability Index 2011: Methodological Approach and Main Results

Sustainable Development is amongst the top priorities within policy agendas worldwide. Over 20 years of research have failed to deliver to policymakers a reliable and useful tool for sustainability quantitative assessment. FEEM has developed a new methodological approach to generate an aggregate Sustainable Index that allows, within an internally coherent framework, describing the current picture of sustainability at world level and highlighting potential improvements in the next future driven by ad hoc policies.
