INtegrating MainSTREAM Economic Indicators with those of Sustainable Development
Annotation in Czech
Though mainstream economic measures such as GDP are useful measures with great influence on both public and private decisions, they are flawed as measures of human welfare.

There is now a growing interest and momentum on the part of policy makers and researchers in developing these complementary headline indicatorsto better assess progress. The IN-STREAM project will undertake the qualitative and quantitative assessments necessary for linking mainstream economic indicators with key well-being and sustainability indicators, providing needed insight into the synergies and trade-offs implicit in Europe s simultaneous pursuit of economic growth and environmental sustainability.
