(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)

• 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)
