| Abstract: | Sustainability (henceforth as: sust-ty.) indicators (here as: sust-inds.) covering economic, social and environmental aspects of human activities have emerged, including one by a state research institute advocating the construction of sust-inds. on the basis of different world views. The proposed sust-inds. have essentially an additive character, that is, the composing elements are added up, with or without weighing. Economic and social elements so far suggested for inclusion in such sust-inds. have no demonstrated or plausible causal relation to sust-ty. defined as a production level not threatening the living conditions of future generations. |
