Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare/ Genuine Progress Indicator -http://web.pdx.edu/~kub/publicfiles/MeasuringWellBeing/Talberth_2006_GPI.pdf Links to an external site.

The Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare (ISEW), later revised and renamed
the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), is a measure that uses GDP as a foundation. It was first proposed in 1989 by Herman Daly and John Cobb in their book
For the Common Good as “a way of measuring the economy that will give better guidance than the GNP to those interested in promoting economic welfare”.

Genuine Savings - http://www.brettonwoodsproject.org/topic/environment/gensavings.pdf Links to an external site.
Genuine Savings (GS) was developed for the World Bank (World Bank
1997) and is defined as “the true level of saving in a country after depreciation
of produced capital; investments in human capital (as measured by
education expenditures); depletion of minerals, energy, and forests; and
damages from local and global air pollutants are taken into account” .

Ecological Footprint - http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/calculators Links to an external site.
The Ecological Footprint (EF) was developed by Mathis Wackernagel and William Rees as a way to account for flows of energy and matter into and out of the human economy and convert those flows into a measure of the area of productive land and water required to support those flows (Wackernagel and Rees 1996). The EF is intended to be used as a resource management tool for assessing whether and to what extent an individual, city, or
nation is using available ecological assets faster than the supporting ecosystems can regenerate those assets.

Human Development Index - http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics Links to an external site.
Since 1990, the United Nations Development Program has used the Human Development Index (HDI) in its annual Human Development Report. The purpose of the report is to show how well the management of economic growth and human development is actually improving human well-being in the nations of the world. The inaugural report defines human
development as the “process of enlarging people’s choices...to live a long
and healthy life, to be educated, have access to resources needed for a decent standard of living,...[to have] political freedom, guaranteed human rights
and personal self-respect.” However, the authors acknowledge the difficulty of quantifying the last three components, and the index focuses on “longevity,
knowledge and decent living standards” as proxies for people’s ability to live long and prosperous lives (UN Development Program 1990).

The Living Planet Index (LPI) - http://www.zsl.org/science/research-projects/indicators-assessments/index Links to an external site.,134,ZI.html
is a measure of the world’s forests,freshwater and marine ecosystems, specifically on the “extent and severity of
biodiversity loss” (Hails 2006).

Happy Planet Index - http://www.happyplanetindex.org/ Links to an external site.
The purpose of the Happy Planet Index (HPI), developed and published by the New Economics Foundation (NEF), is to measure a country’s ecological efficiency in delivering human well-being. The index is a composite of three
measures: life expectancy at birth, life satisfaction, and ecological footprint.
