This publication presents the revised, third edition of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) indicators. It also provides a synopsis of their foundation. The presentation of the indicator set explicitly addresses their relation to Agenda 21 and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, the outcomes of the major international conferences on sustainable development in 1992 and 2002, as well as their relation to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Indicators.
The publication also provides guidance on applying and adapting the CSD indicators for the development of national indicator sets. The role of indicator frameworks is briefly discussed, and a succinct description of all indicators is included.
