Sustainable Development Indicators. Overview of relevant FP-funded research
12/11/2009
Author : Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP - Belgium)
By Camilla Adelle and Marc Pallemaerts
 
This IEEP study reviews EU-funded research on Sustainable Development Indicators (SDIs). The review was commissioned by DG Research and was presented at the conference Research on Sustainable Development Indicators: Taking Stock of Results and Identification of Research Needs, organised jointly by the Sustainable Development Unit of DG Research and EUROSTAT.

IEEP’s report reflected on the research projects carried out so far on SDIs - projects that have been funded under the FP6 and FP7 research programmes in the context of their supporting role for the EU SDS. The report includes a review of over 40 such research projects. The analysis of these projects was also placed within the wider context of other EU and international activities on Sustainable Development Indicators. The purpose of the review was to help DG Research identify future research needs and to prompt discussion on the trends and remaining research gaps at the conference.
The review found that while some areas of the SDS (such as sustainable transport) have attracted numerous research projects, others (such as public health and sustainable consumption and production) have to date been relatively under-researched.
