摘要/Abstract

摘要： 可持续发展评估指标及方法研究是可持续发展定量评估研究的基础,是实施可持续发展管理的依据,是生态经济学与可持续发展研究的前沿领域和热点问题之一.在概括介绍可持续发展评估的工具——指标/指数的概念和功能、国际上代表性可持续发展研究机构指标选取的原则的基础上,全面分析归纳了可持续发展指标(体系)的类型及其框架模式.详细介绍了联合国可持续发展委员会(UNCSD)、经济合作与发展组织(OECD)、世界保护同盟(IUCN)、世界银行等国际上代表性机构的可持续发展系统性指标体系的最新研究进展,并分析了这些系统性指标体系的优缺点.深入分析了国际上典型的社会发展类、经济发展类、生态环境类可持续发展指标(指数)的研究、开发与实际评估应用的情况.最后,总结了当前可持续发展指标(体系)研究的特点与趋势。

Abstract: Management requires measurement. Managing activities and decision-making processes in order to move towards sustainable development requires new ways of assessing progress. Now as never before, international agencies, non-governmental organizations, governments and communities are concerned with establishing the means to assess and report progress towards sustainable development. Indicators are one important tool in this process. Therefore, the indicators and methodologies of measuring sustainability have been becoming one of the frontiers and hot issues of sustainable development research.Based on the brief introduction to the concept, function and selection criteria of indicators of sustainable development, the authors firstly identify the categories and framework models of indicator sets of sustainable development in detail. Secondly, several typical systematic sets of sustainable development indicators developed respectively by United Nations Commission for Sustainable Development, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, World Conservation Union and World Bank are reviewed, and the advantages and limitations of these indicator sets are also analyzed. Moreover, the authors conduct an in-depth analysis of the research, development and application of the most representative social indicators, economic indicators and eco-environmental indicators at international level. In the end, the properties and trends of the research on the indicators for sustainable development are pointed out.

Key words: sustainable development, assessment, indicator set, index, indicator framework model, social indicator, economic indicator, eco-environmental indicator
