Back to Possible Indicators The Issues Indicators

The following table shows the national indicators from the report by the SDI Group sorted by the National Framework Categories. As discussed in the Introduction to Indicators, these categories consist of three major categories: (1) long-term endowments and liabilities, (2) processes that increase or decrease these endowments, and (3) current results and the three subcategories for each category: economic, environmental, and social.

In addition, links are provided in the table to:

• Brief discussion of each indicator,
• Summary graphic of the data for that indicator, and
• Where available, links to data for use at the local level
