A Universal Approach to Sustainable Development: Economic, Environmental, and Social Indicators in Australia and Southeast Asia

可持续发展对社会的各个方面都有影响，但却有成为空洞口号的真正危险。造成这种情况的一个重要原因是在广泛的经济、环境和社会领域缺乏可操作的标准指标。这项工作的主要创新将是将基于揭示偏好的社会选择理论纳入定义和衡量澳大利亚和东南亚的可持续发展。该项目将使州政府和国家政府以及对可持续发展和未来社会福利感兴趣的非政府组织受益。

Sustainable development has implications for all facets of society and yet is in real danger of becoming a hollow catch cry. A significant reason for this is the lack of operational and standard indicators across a broad spectrum of economic, environmental and social realms. The major innovation of this work will be the incorporation of social choice theory based on revealed preferences into defining and measuring sustainable development in Australia and Southeast Asia. This project will benefit both state and national governments, as well as non government organisations, interested in sustainable development and future social welfare.
