OBJECTIVE
• The main objective of the program of indicator
sustainable development in Argentine was to build a
group of indicators that provides decision makers to
information to develop public policies.

(a quantitative but mostly qualitative process of change)
• “Sustainable” is applied to the process of change, to
the trajectory of development (not to the system or its
outputs)

income, demographic dependency ratio,
changes in the ratio between rate of change of
forest area/total forest area
• For the flows between SS:
– A minimum number of indicators informing on the
flow
• Urban waste Generation (SS Economic to SS
Environmental)
• Timber production (SS Environmental to SS Economic)
• Intensity or Efficiency Indicators
– Economic Intensity (by GDP)
• Intensity of Energy use
– Demographic Intensity (per capita)
