Sažetak
This paper presents an overview of the progress in the development of indicators of sustainable development (SDI) on the national and international levels and describes some of the challenges that lie ahead. Paper highlights challenges arising in the compilation of OECD Beyond GDP International initiative (OECD, 2007). It is based on the national set of sustainable indicators developed in recent time by different developers with focus on the EU level in comparison with regions in the World. Key challenges arising in reporting on these indicators include (1) comparability and aggregation variability of SDI in relation to the quality of data determined by the sustainable development policies ; (2) impacts and reflections of compiled SDI on different kinds of user needs ; and (3) contribution of R&D to sustainability. The paper concludes with a consideration of some of the key lessons learned in implementation of SDI which could be highly contextual and dependent on the needs of the end-users.
