Of the 17 indicators identified for the provisional
core set of indicators for changing consumption and production patterns,
lead agencies have committed to developing "methodology
sheets" for the following 16 indicators:¹
- Indicators with complete methodology sheets: Links are
provided to the methodology sheets.
Annual energy
consumption per capita (UN Statistics Division) - This is one of
the indicators in the core set of indicators of sustainable development
Intensity of energy use ( International Energy Agency)- This
is one of the indicators in the core set of indicators of sustainable
development.
energy
use per unit of GDP
intensity
of energy use: manufacturing sector
intensity
of energy use: transportation
intensity
of energy use: commercial/service sector
intensity
of energy use: residential sector
Share of
renewable energy in total energy consumption (UN Statistics
Division) - This is one of the indicators in the core set of indicators
of sustainable development.
Energy
prices (Statistical Office of the European Communities -
Eurostat)
Total material
requirement (World Resources Institute)
Intensity of
material use (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
- UNCTAD) - This is one of the indicators in the core set of indicators
of sustainable development.
Intensity
of water use (Statistical Office of the European Communities-Eurostat)
Land use

Market share of more sustainably produced goods and services
(Statistics Canada)
Market share of more sustainably produced food (Wuppertal
Institute)
Spending on recreation as share of disposable income (UN
Statistics Division)
¹ For the one remaining indicator, "residential energy and
water use per household", the indicators on "intensity of
energy use" and "intensity of water use" can provide the
information needed through sectoral dissagregation, with the residential
sector as one component.
