Are we there yet? Applying Sustainability Indicators to Measure Progress

Performance indicators are used across a variety of sectors to improve understanding of a particular situation, to assess progress towards a set of goals or objectives, and to make predictions regarding future performance. The purpose of this series of sector-focused case studies was to examine available indicators from a variety of sectors and assess their ability to contribute to the measurement of adaptation actions both in terms of effectiveness and progress on implementation. Developed by ICLEI Canada and the Clean Air Partnership, this project was funded by Natural Resources Canada’s Enhancing Competitiveness in a Changing Climate Program.
