Tool summary

Name of the tool
European Common Indicators

Description of the tool
The developed set of indicators is based on the six Sustainability Principles (equality and social inclusion, local governance/empowerment/democracy, local/global relationship, local economy, environmental protection, cultural heritage/quality of the built environment). To qualify into the set, an indicator had to address at least three of them (= integration requirement). Over 1,000 indicators were analysed both against this requirement and against a list of general criteria. By applying the set of indicators developed within the framework of the ECI project, the team created a sub-national geographical area ecological footprint tool (SGA Tool) for EU.
