Measuring Progress toward Sustainability Social and Economic Indicators and Metrics for Urban Sustainability Meeting in Brief

About

As the second event of the Roundtable’s 2015-2016 initiative on Measuring Progress towards Sustainability: The State of the Science on Indicators and Metrics of Sustainability, the November 2015 Roundtable meeting evaluated economic and social indicators and metrics in the context of urban sustainability. The purpose of the session was to assess what indicators and metrics have been found to be the most useful for promoting sustainability as well as identify knowledge gaps related to developing indicators that integrate across the ecological, social, and economic sciences. During the meeting, panelists from government, academia, nongovernmental organizations, and philanthropic community examined examples of select social and economic indicators and metrics that incorporated various disciplines, particularly those being used to inform policy and action related to sustainability practice and research. A published summary of the event was issued in 2016.

Measuring Progress toward Sustainability Indicators and Metrics for Climate Change and Infrastructure Vulnerability Meeting in Brief

About

The Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability began an initiative in 2015 focused on the development and use of sustainability indicators. Given the broad nature of this topic, the Roundtable decided to focus the first meeting in the series on the development and use of sustainability indicators and metrics in a specific context, climate change and infrastructure vulnerability. The purpose of the session, held on June 4, 2015, was to identify indicators and metrics that have been found to be useful for promoting sustainability, as well as knowledge gaps related to developing indicators that integrate across the ecological, social, and economic sciences in the context of climate change and infrastructure vulnerability.
