Though mainstream economic measures such as GDP are useful
and have great
influence on both public and private decisions, they are flawed
as the
measure of human welfare. In addition, they give little information
as to
whether economic activity is helping Europe to make progress
towards its
environmental goals and its commitment to sustainable development.
There is, then, the need in Europe for indicators and
measurement systems that
provide useful assessment of progress towards the
simultaneous aims of
economic success, human welfare, environmental
protection and long-term
sustainability. The goal of IN-STREAM is to bridge the
gap between these types of indicators
and to disseminate the results to policy makers,
economists, journalists and the public at large.
