Working Paper # 15 – Reporting on Sustainable Development in Support of National Decision Makers (March 1993)
By François Bregha, John Moffet and
Vic Nishi, Resource Futures International
This is one of the four background reports on sustainable
development reporting prepared for the Task Force on
Reporting of the NRTEE. The purpose of these reports
is to access current Canadian ability to undertake effective
reporting on progress toward sustainable development.
As we have come to understand better the many links
between environmental quality, human health, social
well-being and economic prosperity, we have become aware
of the need to pursue an “alternative agenda”,
one which explicitly integrates all of these dimensions
of development. Not surprisingly, governments are finding
that many of the information systems that served them
well in meeting the needs of the standard agenda are
deficient in helping them address this “alternative
agenda”.
