Dispatch from Rio: Incorporating Sustainability into the Human Development Index

Dispatch from Rio: Incorporating Sustainability into the Human Development Index

June 18, 2012 · by Angel Hsu · in Conferences, Rio+20

Shortly after I landed in Rio de Janeiro, I participated in a side event hosted by the Armenia government on “Sustainable Development Indices – possible options” at the 2012 Rio Earth Summit. In a previous post I mentioned the importance of metrics and indicators to help track progress toward the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of clearly defined objectives that were originally proposed by Colombia and are meant to get governments to pay attention to poverty eradication and environmental sustainability.
