衡量发展的可持续性对实现这一目标至关重要，也是该领域研究最活跃的问题之一。到目前为止，大多数关于测量或指标的研究基本上都是理论上的。
然而，这本书是贝尔和莫尔斯极具影响力的可持续发展指标(1999)的后续版本，就如何开发在现实生活发展背景下有效的衡量标准提供了宝贵的实用建议。它描述和分析了如何在一个实际的发展项目过程中得出、验证和应用指标--在这种情况下是马耳他的地中海行动计划。
作者解释了所涉及的权衡和限制，以及如何通过使用务实和反思的方法，将开放式和灵活的可持续性观点与更线性的进程和具体项目的固定目标结合起来。
Measuring the sustainability of development is crucial to achieving it, and is one of the most actively studied issues in the area. To date, most studies of measurements or indicators have been largely theoretical.
However, this book, a follow-on to Bell and Morse’s highly influential Sustainability Indicators (1999), presents valuable practical advice on how to develop measurements that will work in real-life development contexts. It describes and analyses how to derive, validate and apply indicators in the course of an actual development project –in this case the Mediterranean Action Plan in Malta.
The authors explain the trade-offs and constraints involved and how it is possible to combine the open-ended and flexible perspectives of sustainability with the more linear processes and fixed targets of specific projects through the use of pragmatic and reflective methodologies.
