New Sustainable Development Indicators

Sustainable Development Indicators are used to measure national progress on key economic, social and environmental issues over time. They are intended to complement the National Wellbeing Measures published by the Office for National Statistics.

They are widely used outside of government by academics, non-governmental organisations and businesses.

This consultation provided the opportunity to comment on the choice and coverage of a new set of indicators.
