The Online Compendium is the most current and up to date collection of
Sustainable Development Indicator initiatives. It is a collaborative
effort of Environment Canada, the World Bank, Redefining Progress and
the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).


An increasing number of integrated indicator sets within the framework
of sustainable development have been developed recently by communities,
academic, governmental, non-governmental and business organizations. The
**Online Compendium of Sustainable Development Indicator Initiatives and
Publications** brings these initiatives together in one place to share
lessons, coordinate activities, and disseminate information.


The Online Compendium contains information about the development and
application of indicators and measurements of sustainable development at
global, national, sub-national, regional, local and institutional levels
(see below). It is a valuable resource for practitioners, researchers,
students, government agencies, NGOs and the general public involved in
or interested in sustainable development indicator programs and
initiatives.


** Add your initiatives!**

assessing progress toward sustainable development, can easily do so

the Compendium. New entries are added regularly
