ABSTRACT

The indicator systems of the international organizations very often relate only to a partial aspect of Sustainable Development, to an energy supply oriented towards the overall concept of Sustainable Development. The unequal geographical distribution of global energy reserves and the demand, which strongly deviates from this distribution, require a flexible and also robust system of international trade and supply relations. An aim of the World Resources Institute is to observe and evaluate global development trends within the framework of its continuous 'World Resources' reporting scheme. The set of indicators established by the World Bank is designated 'World Development Indicators'. It represents at the moment the most extensive set of indicators. The social dimension of Sustainable Development was described in 2000 by the united nations according to the following indicators: equality, health, training, living, security and population. The report of the Brundtland Commission contained a multidimensional deployment of the overall concept of 'Sustainable Development'.
