The set of indicators is organized according to a system showing how the indicators and the issues they depict are interrelated.

The indicators paint a global picture of the progress made by Belgium towards sustainable development. In order to assess this progress, the indicators are evaluated in the light of political objectives adopted by Belgium, the European Union and the United Nations in their sustainable development strategies.The analysis of the indicators' evolution towards these objectives shows clearly whether the ongoing developments contribute to a sustainable development.

The information on this website is only available in French and Dutch.
