Developers of key indicators and measures have been asked to describe the development and implementation of their indicator(s) in their own words. Each paper describes the need for the indicator, its findings and uses, and future possibilities for its further development. A link to each organisation’s description of their indicator is provided below. The "Virtual Exhibition" was a project of the Sustainable Europe Research Institute (SERI).
