Abstract | The Kyoto Protocol, the Copenhagen Summit and other World Forums have focused on policies to address global warming, biodiversity and other sustainability issues. A variety of composite indexes has been proposed to examine the sustainability status and environmental stewardship in many different nations. This paper examines a broad spectrum of these composite indexes: Inclusive Wealth Index, Environmental Performance Index, Sustainability Adjusted Global Competitiveness Index (World Economic Forum), Global Sustainability Competitiveness Index (SolAbility), Climate Change Performance Index, Social Progress Index and Global Green Economy Index to investigate their contribution to achieving sustainable development. This analysis enables us to identify appropriate policy directions based on these indexes and current technologies. |
